Default ASTRO: Making progress (slowly) with The Eagle Nebula (M16)

I was hoping to finish this off last night with 3 hours of sulfur. I
unfortunately turned a planned 10 minute nap into a 2 hour nap and woke up
with about an hour of dark left :-(

So I got only four exposures of 10 minutes in the sulfur

still it is starting to take shape so I am posting the preliminary result
today and hopefully will wrap up the data collection tonight that I had
hoped for last night.

Richard, looks great already. At least you got a bit of sleep that night ;-)
