The Eagle Nebula - M16 - SHO

The Eagle Nebula (Messier 16 or M16,) is a young open cluster of stars in the constellation Serpens. The dark center of the nebula was made famous as the "Pillars of Creation" when imaged by the Hubble Space Telescope. It is approximately 5700 light years from Earth.

 

This is a reprocess of some older data using some new noise reduction techniques and SHO combination.
