M16 - The Eagle and the Pillars of Creation in SHO

The Eagle Nebula and The Pillars of Creation is one of the most iconic astro images made famous by the Hubble Space Telescope.

The Eagle Nebula is also known as M16, NGC 661, Sh2-49, The Spire, and the Star Queen Nebula. It is a young open cluster of stars in the constellation Serpens. The nebula contains several active star-forming gas and dust regions, and it lies in the Sagittarius Arm of the Milky Way.

The Eagle Nebula is part of a diffuse emission nebula, or HII region which is catalogued as IC 4703. This region of active current star formation is about 5700 LY from Earth.

This one was out of season for my location and I was only able to capture one hour per night in the early morning skies just before dawn. Processed in the Hubble Pallette.

Update: Version D in HOO

I hope you enjoy the image, Eddie

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
