The Eagle has landed!

Well I have always wanted to capture the Eagle nebula and now I have

Have been on leave this week, semi lockdown still in UK, clouds and rain

So I have splashed out with two and half hours image time on itelescope telescope 30 which is a 510mm 2000mm+ focal length scope in Australia where M16 high in the sky

It never gets above 25 degrees here and is "behind the house"

I hope to image it directly using my own equipment one day but in the meantime ..,. this will do

This is a bi colour image using HA and OII with 50:50 synthetic green channel

Well this marks a "great leap forward" for me on image processing, though it might not look like much :)

Was watching Ray's video on the redcat 51 this morning and saw the technique used with Pixinsight and starnet ++ for removing and adding back stars

Worked out how to do this in Photoshop using star net++ ( use difference on the starless and star to isolate the stars , linear dodge to put back)

Using this technique I have reduced the stars further on this image of M16 and done some further work on the nebula , leaving the stars totally unchanged which is v useful

I will re do my recent Wizard nebula next !

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
