M16 - The Eagle Nebula
Gear:
\- Orion 6" f/4 astrograph
\- Baader Mark lII multi-purpose coma corrector
\- Astromania UV/IR cut filter
\- ZWO184MC OSC uncooled
\- Celestron Advanced GT equatorial mount
Acquisition: Bortle 2 site with no moon
\- 60 x 60s subs, 300 gain, in SharpCap
\- No guiding
\- 30 x 60s darks
\- 100 flats
\- 100 bias
Processing: All in Siril
\- OSC preprocessing script to stack and align
\- Background extraction
\- Spectrophotometric color calibration
\- Asinh transformation
\- Star reduction
\- GHS transformation
\- Saturation adjustment
\- Median filter / noise reduction
This is my third time capturing this nebula. The first time was with a crappy camera and 4" refractor, then I upgraded my camera, and now I've upgraded my scope. Unfortunately the transparency was terrible that night and the clouds moved in after about an hour of lights. I'm not sure how much true integration time I had.
