Description

The Eagle Nebula; Messier 16 as shown in RGB. I have always been pleasantly surprised by the level of detail that has been achievable of the Pillars of Creation from a wide field Astrograph with a semi-large CMOS full frame camera. Certainly not Hubble worthy but still pleasantly surprised.

That is of course until you look at the starless version will the head of the Pillars of Creation is all but de-created.
