This is M16 - the Eagle Nebula - taken with the FSQ106EDX refractor at 530mm focal length. Surrounding nebulosity is seen in this HaRGB image totaling 11.5 hours exposure. STL-11000M camera with Custom Scientific filters (5nm Ha). Taken over 4 nights in early July 2011 at Sierra Skies Observatory in northern California. (hopefully, this will show-up brighter than my NGC7000 image!)
