M16, 25 Ago 09

The Eagle Nebula and the Pillars of Creation.
This is my first M16 image.
The picture was taken with my Takahashi FS102NSV and SBIG ST2000XM, autoguided on a Losmandy G-11. Stack of 7 x 300" frames shot at -20ºC/-4F. Calibrated in MaxIm DL and CS4.
Used Flat and Dark frames from other shots.
Couldn't shoot more frames due to a haze that rolled in and there were no more guiding stars...
Luckily I'll be able to add more frames some time soon.
