I thought I'd reshoot this target with the 10" Quattro and the ASI 2600MM
Featuring the Pillars of Creation in M16 the Eagle Nebula.
Shot in narrowband and using my SHO palette workflow involving color chrominance mask (CGY) manipulation in PixInsight and addition of the Ha as an additional luminance layer.
600s SHO @-10C About 4.9hrs integration time

Equipment used:
Skywatcher Quattro 250P
Hypertuned Skywatcher NEQ6 Pro
Skywatcher Aplanatic Coma Corrector
ZWO ASI2600MM Pro
ZWO OAG
Antlia 36mm 3nm Ha unmounted filter
Antlia 36mm 3nm S2 unmounted filter
ZWO 36mm 7nm O3 unmounted filter
Bortle 5
Data acquisition software: NINA
Processing software: PixInsight and Photoshop CC

This was my 2nd choice to view, and wow! Love the color palette in this. That soft blue making up the bulk of the nebula really makes for a great anchor of this image.

Thanks Jim ! I was hoping I didn't overdo the blues/cyans.

Fantastic - still looking to see things when that final Antlia OIII shows up, but hard to imagine it could improve over this wonderful result. Lots of really fine and intricate detail resolved in this with a very nice framing and magnification. The post processing is really nice - the colors work well too. Great work!
