Description

M16 Eagle Nebula in Hubble Palette

While basically a wider field image, the data contained enough detail to bring forth the "Pillars of Creation" made famous by the Hubble Space Telescope in the center of the picture.

Images taken by a QSI683-wsg8 camera with HOS filters and a Takahashi FSQ-106 scope on a Paramount MyT from Deep Sky West's dark sky site in New Mexico. Processed with PixInsight 1.8.8-5.
