The Eagle Nebula, M16, in Serpens Cauda

This object includes the "Pillars of Creation", made famous by one of the most impressive Hubble Space Telescope images.

Here I used a Canon EOS 40D & Celestron C8 telescope.

Manual off-axis guiding for 4 x 10 & 7 x 5-minute exposures at f6.3 and ISO 1600; subs registered & stacked using DeepSkyStacker software.
