Description

This is my 3rd attempt on the Eagle Nebula.  At my location it doesn't get any higher than about 28 degrees altitude, so I'm always shooting through thick atmosphere.  And being that low means I don't have much time on it until it drops behind the trees again.  My previous attempts were at f/10, while this was at f/7, and I think I like this one best.  So maybe I'll keep trying on this target as opportunities present, and see if I can improve it over time.
