Description

Finally finished this project. Data were taken over the summer when there is not a lot of proper astronomical darkness, however, M16 seems to be so bright that it can easily be shot with narrowband filters during that time.
It was my first time using BlurXTerminator and I'm quite impressed, although I still have some reservations about the interpretation of the ouput of this piece of software.
During processing I experienced quite a bit of struggle with the colors in the SHO palette, I'm still not sure whether I'm happy with the result.
