Description

I've been photographing the Eagle Nebula from May through July of 2023 with the goal of producing a SHO image with RGB stars. This LRGB image does not have very much exposure time of only about 8.5 hours total between LRGB filters, with Luminance only having about 1.5 hours. After combining the color channels, I was very excited to see all this good detail in the RGB data. I decided to create an LRGB image of this data as well as a SHO image, rather than throw this good "starless" data away. 

I processed the data in Pixinsight using SPCC and Russel Crowman suite. Finished in Photoshop.
