From this particular location M16 is low in the night sky and only just rises above the roof tops looking from my observatory, so imaging time is very limited. I only managed to capture two five minute sub-frames using each narrowband (H-alpha, SII and OIII) filters. I then combined the narrow band data with some old H-alpha and RGB luminance data. Using the Hubble palette
colour data to produce the final image. The telescope I was using my ten inch f/4.8 reflector, an Atik 383L mono CCD camera with PHD auto guiding.
