Description

Here is my Eagle Nebula. Cathy says it's not quite Hubble, and I tell her I didn't spend a Billion dollars either ! You decide 😀
Also called M16, it's in the constellation Serpens. This is a tricolor pic with red=hydrogen, sulfur=green, and oxygen =blue. About two hours for each filter. 
This is my first time trying a couple of additional techniques to try and better control star size and star halos. I think the new tricks are working !
Hope you enjoy !
