Description

This is a difficult subject for my observing conditions: light polluted sky, trees around my backyard and 44 degs of latitude mean 8 frames maximum per night, fortunately, M16 is quite bright so at the end I an image that I like.

I have been a little more aggressive in post processing and this helped me in making details appear without giving the idea of having pushed them too much, I'm learning!

Looking back at my 2015 result ... well, do not at it please!
