Description

M16 or the Eagle Nebula, although I prefer the Queen's Star Nebula as a moniker is one of everyone's darling and the site of the Uber-famous Pillars of Creation HST shot. I had a first go at this from my flat in Volpiano when I lived there in 2004, with mixed results mainly due to the tonality imparted by using H-alpha as substitute to Luminance.And the stars' colours were all wrong. Tried again in the summer of 2004 from Sardinia but didn't have much success due to intervening clouds (I couldn't see them so I didn't notice them until the run was over and then it was too late and had to leave the very next day). So this my last, final parting shot in 2007, from Sardinia as it is want.
