Description

1st light with RASA 8! 
No filters. 15 hours total integration time. This is a mix of 60/300/600-second exposures from Bortle 2 at Utah Desert Remote Observatories. 

I really love this region of the sky in true color, despite being a Hubble Palette fanboy. The starless version looks incredible which you can see here: https://www.galactic-hunter.com/post/m16-the-eagle-nebula-the-pillars-of-creation
