Description

M16, The Eagle Nebula. Wow !

It was my dream since 1995, when M16 was released by NASA. ( "Pillars of creation" )

I guess it is still the most prominent Astro Picture taken by the Hubble Space Telescope.

The Hubble image although is in false color which made this image even more spectacular.

I never believed that I can take my own image of this nebula from my backyard !

This is my first attempt, unfortunately only 50% of the subs where usable, because this nebula is hanging low ( 20°) at southern direction with a lot of light pollution and atmospheric distortions.

I am waiting for hubble pallet filters and will give it another try a.s.a.p.
