Description

M16 is also called the Eagle Nebula, NGC 6611, and also known as the Star Queen Nebula. It is a bright emission nebula area surrounding a young open cluster of stars in the constellation Serpens.

This is my first totally narrow band image in SHO. It is only about the seventh or eight image I have taken with the CCD camera. I imaged it with the DSLR years ago but this seems so much nicer.
