Messier 16, Messier 17 and Messier 24 are emission nebula and star clusters in the constellation Serpens and Sagittarius. This was a mosaic of two images taken with fifteen 240s guided subs each on August 24th, 2022 from the Darling Hill Observatory in Vesper, NY. Both images were taken with an Optolong L-Pro filter. FOV is 7.6˚ x 2.8˚. An astro-modified Canon EOS6D camera at ISO1600, iOptron CEM40G mount, ZWO ASI120MM mini mono guide camera, William Optics 50mm guide scope, ASIAir Plus, William Optics FLT 91 + Flat 6AIII 0.8 reducer FL 432mm f/4.9.
Join me on my journey through the cosmos. Here i'll post the images I take how I shot them and maybe some guides along the way. Clear Skies!
