Description

Here's an SHO image of the Eagle Nebula from Telescope Live's 24" PlaneWave CDK24/FLI PL 9000.  There's 14 subs each Ha, OIII, and SII @600s taken from March-August 2021.
The Eagle Nebula, also known as M 16 and the Star Queen Nebula, is located in the constellation Serpens at a distance of about 5,700 light-years.  The nebula contains active star forming regions, especially the Pillars of Creation in which the dark pockets, or Bok gobules, may be protostars.  
Hope ya like it!
Tom
