M16 the Eagle nebula

A dovetail modified Stella Mira 66 ED APO f/6 refractor with a field flattener Altair magnetis filter holder and a ZWO EAF  was mounted on an AVX mount. An Altair Hypercam 533C CMOS OSC camera was placed at the focus and an Altair HaOIII dualband filter was placed in the filter holder

AstroDMx Capture was used to capture 1 hour's worth of 5 minute true RAW exposures of M16 the Eagle nebula along with calibration frames. The data were debayered, calibrated, stacked and part processed in PixInsight and further processed in GraXpert and Gimp 2.10.
