Hi Steve -

 

The shadows look a bit too cyan.  Maybe back off about 3-4 units in PS.  It could also use a pass of SGBNR or BGSmooth to smooth out the grain.

Oops... here's the link: http://home.earthlink.net/%7estevelindsey/M16.html

Just did a stack on M16 from Mt. Pinos (first time at Mt. Pinos - lucked out on the weather last Thurs night... lucky we stayed past 11 pm when it finally cleared!).

 

Guiding wasn't great and composition has much to be desired after I cropped a lot of the worst vignetting.  That said it is a huge improvement over my manually guided version a couple of years back.  Finally got Registar and used it on this shot for the first time - much easier than Picture Window.

 

Comments please.
