ASTRO: Eagle at f/6.3

Again a reasenable clear night last night.
Manage to take 16 shots at 120 sec exposure.... (still not enough shots
Richard but the nebula sunk behind the houses in front of me..).
Mounted the focal reducer behind my 10"SCT to get a larger field of view
with the "dragon head" also included in the frame.
Unfortunetly i had some trouble with the camera and the wiring (my setup is
not permanently so i have to hook up my scope and camera everytime and i
think it's beginning to wear out...) so that also resulted in less frames
than i planned..
I used the H-Alpha filter again.
No special guiding used.

Thanks for looking

glad to see that you got to shoot it Dirk even if the darn thing got too low
in the sky. and it came out pretty well too considering the position in the
sky

it isn't easy from my latitude either but the result seems to compensate
since it is such an interesting and magnificent target

the halpha filters sure are fun to use huh?

I tried it last year but seeing really bloated the stars. I kept saying
I'd do it again this year on a night of good seeing but when such a
night came around I had too many "new" objects on the list. I can't
seem to get back to this guy for some reason.

Even though it is even lower in your sky than mine you got about as much
resolution as I did and in far less time. Maybe the clouds will let you
add to it in the near future.

Correct domain name is arvig and it is net not com. Prefix is correct.
Third character is a zero rather than a capital "Oh".

Very good detail Dirk.

Thanks Richard, what the H-Alpha cocerns, yep it's a great thing to use and
fun seeing things that normally aren't visible.
Do you have any hints for me as next object with the H-Alpha filter?
