Description

Hi there ! I am super thrilled to share with you my take on the very core of the so-called "Messier 16" - dubbed also the "Eagle Nebula". 

Messier 16 is a region of active star formation, appearing in the constellation Serpens Cauda. 

The Eagle Nebula lies some 7,000 light years away in the Sagittarius-Carina spiral arm of our galaxy - the next arm inward from us. 

With regards to the final rendering, the color are applied my mixing three narrowband filters. The colors palette is commonly known as "the Hubble Palette".

I hope you will like it.

CS,
A.
