Description

M16, the Eagle Nebula, and its famous 'Pillars of Creation'

This photo was processed from ~9 hours of SHO data taken over two nights from my Bortle 6 skies using my Celestron 9.25" EdgeHD and ZWO ASI1600MM Pro. I hoped to spend more time on this target but had a long spell of cloudy nights during the window of time where M16 was rising high enough to clear the tree line.
