Description

M16 with ASI 2600 on Skywatcher Esprit 550/100 ED APO. Filter: Astronomic L-extreme. Exposure time 120sec, 100 subs. A square crop of the entire image after processing. The very low altitude of the target (just a bit over the hills of the Vienna Woods) and the short night made it very difficult to get useable subs. The geographical direction is almost exactly over Vienna (from my location) which makes it even more unpleasant due to the visible light pollution of the city.
