Kicking off nebula season with the very famous M16 Eagle Nebula. This is an object I originally imaged over a decade ago when I first got my Nexstar C8 with a DSLR and never really went back to do it justice. After chasing very dim nebula I was shocked at the high dynamic range this actually presented. I'm presenting mine in a Foraxx palette. I utilized my NB to RGB star script for the stars and did my initial channel stretching with my Statistical Stretch script. There are some really less known tiny objects around the field of view as well. Multiple Planetary Nebula / Emission Objects. A relatively bright Emission Line Star with the gas cloud interacting with it. Many dark fingers of dark dust columns where new stars are getting born as well.

Emission objects and Planetary Nebula
Carbon Star:
Dark columns aka the fingers:
Emission Line star with un catalogued Ha structure (it reminds me of an HH object)
