Eagle Nebula ... M16
The Eagle Nebula ... so called because of its resemblance to an eagle ... is located about 7000 light years from earth in the Sagittarius-Carina spiral arm of the Milky Way.
The Eagle Nebula is famous for its Pillars of Creation ... a shot taken by NASA with the Hubble Telescope. If you haven't seen it you should check it out : www.nasa.gov/image-article/pillars-of-creation/
This lowly shot of mine was taken with the Seestar S50 smart telescope .... 414 ten second images stacked and processed in PixInsight with finishing touches in Photoshop using the Nik Collection and Star Spikes Pro 4 plugins.
I have other scopes but it's amazing what this little scope from ZWO can do. Just level it, tell it what you want to shoot ... then leave it alone to do its thing. Learning how to process the images it provides ... now that's another story! One with quite a steep learning curve!
