Description

The Eagle Nebula captured with a short focal length refractor in narrowband from Bottle 8 skies in Singapore. This image seeks to encompass the entire HII region constituting the nebula, with the iconic "Pillars of Creation" framed in the centre.

The nebula is captured and processed as a mixture of SHO + Foraxx colour templates, whereas the stars are captured separately with the LRGB filter set and calibrated with PixInsight's photometric colour calibration to give natural star colours.
