This is M16, the Eagle Nebule, taken Saturday night (May 28, 2005), in the very light polluted skies of Deer Park, Texas (next to Houston). This is my first image with the Tak FS-128. Details: *SXV-H9 monochrome imager *FS-128 with focal reducer to F6 *SXV guider (on Borg 76ED with Meade focal reducer to F2.2) *Astronomik Ha filter *Celestron CI-700 mount *12 each - 5 minute images, Sigma Combined in MaximDL. I tried a few stretches (linear and Gamma), but saw no improvement, so I left the image as-is except to crop it. Saved at 90% quality Jpeg. Thanks Steven Jindra
