M16 The Eagle Nebula

M16, The Eagle Nebula.

A lovely object this time of year, you can clearly see the iconic 'Pillars of creation' made so famous by the Hubble space telescope in the early 90s

Taken using a Vixen VC200L and modded Canon450D at a campsite in Dymchurch, St Marys Bay, Kent.

8 X 5 min subs at ISO 1600.
