This was imaged last night.
M16, NGC 6611 The Eagle Nebula
Svbony 503 80ED 560mm with Orion Flattener for Small Reflectors +5mm spacer
62x4min @ iso 3200 Canon M6ii-FullSpectrum Modified, Lenhance Filter, NO Calibration Frames, Dithered Every 5th.
Svbony 305pro guidecam and Svbony 106, 60mm guidescope.
Platesolved, PHD2 multistar, APT, Stellarium on iOptron CEM25p Mount.
Run remotely on a $120 mini PC running windows10.
Lightly Processed in Siril, and PS.  This was stacked in DSS for a bit of objectivity in my processes.

I love this target..!!  I will be adding more data for star color.

 

Happy 4th !
Be Safe !

Clear Skies !!

Really nice shot.  The 4 hours of data on this really worked out well.

Now at over 8hrs integration, I thought I'd post the update.  Tonight, fingers crossed, will be RGB data aquisition to add to this broad band data.

Running the Siril Scripts kept rejecting far too many images in its star matching alignment.  I am pretty certain it is just choosing the wrong the alignment method, but I'm not that well versed.  So I just stacked in DSS. 
I'm moving away from the idea that calibration frames are necessary, and while I think they can be, my general rule now is NO Calibration, and if needed, false calibration, and if still needed, create on next data session.  I try to do preliminary processing each time I gather data so I can see what the "Possible" outcomes are going to look like. 
With that, here is Day 3, I think lol
