Several years ago I renewed my interest in astronomy by purchasing a Meade LX90 telescope. I enjoy imaging deep sky objects and maintaining an ongoing journal about them and my processing methods. I hope my enthusiam for my hobby comes through to viewers of this blogsite.

Techno Stuff: 7/8/07 Camera: ATK-16hr, Imaging Scope: Megrez 80mm APO at F/6, mounted on LX90 8" SCT, Ha 160 min total with 20 min subs, no binning, Darks Applied, Autoguided with DSI Pro and PHDGuide from LX90, , Processed with CCDStack, Photoshop CS2, PixInsight
Notes: This is my second attempt at M16 with double the amount of Halpha exposure and better tracking overall. Lots more detail is apparent. My old image is here for comparison.
The Eagle Nebula is where the famous Hubble telescope 'pillars of creation' image was taken and are located towards the center of the image.
