Description

The Eagle Nebula is an iconic emission area rich in star formation and lies around 6,000 LY away in the constellation Serpens at magnitude 6.4.

Processing completed in PI and Topaz DeNoise using the Low Light default setting.I have tilt issues in my imaging train and been getting some weird diffraction spikes on my stars, suspect its caused by a recently installed dew heater on my secondary mirror that wasn’t showing up in single 300 sec subs.More work to be done!

Cheers,
