Description

I fought with clouds and light pollution trying to get this image. Right now Sagittarius is located in the heaviest light pollution in my sky. Later in the year Sagittarius will move to a better location.

The will still be some light pollution but not nearly like it is right now. This image of M16 looks

different than other images I've taken of M16. I kind of like the different look. The nebulosity

looks a little more delicate and less saturated than in other images I've taken of this object. And the Pillars of Creation stand out a little more than usual. There are things that I like about this image and things I don't like. However if I try to change one thing it usually changes something else. Sometimes it's hard to achieve a balance for lack of a better description. Because of the heavy light pollution the image has lots a light gradients to deal with and the light pollution affects the color and makes it hard to capture dim nebulosity. Anyway with all that said please enjoy my most recent image of M16.
