The Eagle Nebula M16 also includes the Pillars Of Creation. The NGC 7331 has 5 companion Galaxies. They are what looks to be fuzz around the Nucleus of the Galaxy, you'll have to look very closely to find them. All were worked in Lightroom and Topaz DeNoise. The Triangulum Galaxy M33 is a lone Galaxy as far as I can tell. All were shot at 10 x 200-sec with Darks and Bias shots.

Nice, did you use your Nightscape, if so, did you use AstroFX to stretch? 7331 looks a bit overcooked (I'm the king of overcooked, ok maybe not king, but at least jester).

Thank you Brian yes the NCG 7331 is overcooked, the only way I could get anything but the heart to come out. I could not get AFX to Stack so I did it in DSS.

Wonder why, have you ever been able to stack in AstroFX? I still use that as a quick stacking when I'm capturing images to see how its looking, I don't think I've ever had any problems with it; although I don't use it for final, I never learned to use all the features.

Yes I do stack in AFX usually but I think I did something wrong and was hoping I could
come back a day later and run it but I have figured out how to run an image once
I changed to a new shot. So I'm running it right now in AFX. It ran pretty well so I'll
repost it now.

Thanks Jim and yes I was on top of the hill.
It was a perfect night. 50*, 12% humidity and 0 gusting a 1/2 wind speed.
