Eeagle Nebula (M16, NGC6611) - a photo on Flickriver

Eeagle Nebula (M16, NGC6611)

I only managed to get 90 minutes as it's too low in the horizon and it only appears over the roof of my house quite late. I managed to capture this one clear night in May, but haven't been able to get more time since then. I'll come back to it later on this summer and add more time with a different filter to hopefully improve detail.

Taken with my William Optics FLT91, F6AIII 0.8x reducer, ZWO ASI2600MC Pro camera and Astronomik CLS-CCD 2" filter.
Post-processed using PixInsight and Affinity Photo 2.

From SkySafari:
"Messier 16 is a conspicuous region of active star formation, appearing in the constellation Serpens Cauda. This giant cloud of interstellar gas and dust is commonly known as the Eagle Nebula, and has already created a cluster of young stars. The nebula is also referred to the Star Queen Nebula and as IC 4703.

The Eagle Nebula lies some 7,000 light years away in the Sagittarius-Carina spiral arm of our galaxy - the next arm inward from us."
