Description

The Eagle Nebula needs not not much presentation. It is probably most famous for containing what the HST-imagers called "Pillars of Creation". It is too far south for my Swedish horizon, but fortunately the Ikarus Observatory has kindly publicly posted data from Spain  (https://ikiobservatory.com/data/M16_2020-08-17/) that I now took the opportunity to process. I made a HSO image (so Ha in the red channel and Sii in the green and Oiii in the blue). Used all the new XT tools in PI or PS.
