M16 and the Pillars of Creation
I was able to get out last night to image M16. I wanted to capture 45 exposures of 4 minutes with ZWO ASI071 attached to 5 inch refractor, but clouds came in after only about 25 exposures. This was a test exposure for me. I want to compare this image taken with a one-shot CMOS camera to one that I plan on taking using narrowband processing with a monochrome CMOS camera and LRGB, and Ha filters.
