M16 is an emission nebula in the Serpens constellation, around 7000 light years from earth.
I actually captured this data during the year of which we do not speak (2020). Since then, my processing skillset has improved quite a bit, so I felt a reprocess was in order. Overall, quite happy with the result.
The area is most "famous" because of the elongated structures throughout (the iconic "pillars of creation" imaged by the Hubble telescope). So what's going on there?
The reason for these structures to appear is twofold:
1) Material in those areas is so dense that it starts to collapse in on itself (by itself, we mean the core region). This is essentially what causes new stars to be formed within.
2) Because of the presence of these stars, a process called "photoevaporation" occurs. This quite simply means that radiation from those newly formed stars is blowing the structure apart from the inside. Only the densest areas are able to hold so to speak, while the outer areas are being blown away. As a result, you end up with a very distinct almost carved out looking dense structure.

The **Eagle Nebula**, also known as **Messier 16 (M16)** or **NGC 6611**, is a stunning region of active star formation located about **7,000 light-years** from Earth in the **constellation Serpens**. It is best known for containing the **Pillars of Creation**, towering columns of gas and dust famously photographed by the **Hubble Space Telescope** in 1995.
This vast nebula spans about **70 by 55 light-years** and consists of **interstellar gas, dust, and young, hot stars** that illuminate and shape the surrounding material. The Eagle Nebula is a **stellar nursery**, where massive new stars are born from collapsing clouds of gas. These young stars emit intense ultraviolet light and powerful winds that sculpt the nebula’s features and erode the dense pillars from which they formed.
The "eagle" shape that gives the nebula its name is created by dark, silhouetted dust lanes against the bright background of glowing hydrogen gas. The Eagle Nebula is both a scientifically important object and a visually iconic one, offering astronomers insight into how stars and planetary systems form and evolve over time.

A star cluster around 2 million years young, M16 is surrounded by natal clouds of dust and glowing gas also known as The Eagle Nebula. This beautifully detailed image of the region includes cosmic sculptures made famous in Hubble Space Telescope close-ups of the starforming c omplex. Described as elephant trunks or Pillars of Creation, dense, dusty columns rising near the center are light-years in length but are gravitationally contracting to form stars. Energetic radiation from the cluster stars erodes material near the tips, eventually exposing the embedded new stars. Extending from the left edge of the frame is another dusty starforming column known as the Fairy of Eagle Nebula. M16 and the Eagle Nebula lie about 7,000 light-years away, an easy target for binoculars or small telescopes in a nebula rich part of the sky toward the split constellation Serpens Cauda (the tail of the snake).

I shot this object last year with my Nikon D750, so wanted to give it another go with the ZWO ASI183MC astro camera. A nice result! You can clearly make out the "Pillars of Creation" inside this nebula made famous by the Hubble Telescope.
The Eagle Nebula (catalogued as Messier 16 or M16, and as NGC 6611, and also known as the Star Queen Nebula and The Spire) is a young open cluster of stars in the constellation Serpens, discovered by Jean-Philippe de Cheseaux in 1745–46. Both the "Eagle" and the "Star Queen" refer to visual impressions of the dark silhouette near the center of the nebula, an area made famous as the "Pillars of Creation" imaged by the Hubble Space Telescope. The nebula contains several active star-forming gas and dust regions, including the aforementioned Pillars of Creation.

La nebulosa del Águila, a la izquierda de la toma, es parte del objeto astronómico catalogado como M16, es decir el objeto 16 del catálogo de Messier. M16 está conformado por la nebulosa y un cúmulo estelar abierto asociado con ella, catalogado como NGC 6611, y cuyas estrellas se aprecian en las distintas imágenes de M16. Se encuentra en la constelación Serpens (la serpiente). En una parte de la nebulosa están los "pilares de la creación", que forman una de las imágenes más populares de las obtenidas por el telescopio espacial Hubble. La nebulosa brillante de emisión (región HII) que abarca toda la zona está catalogada como IC 4703. Todo el complejo se encuentra a 7000 años luz.
De su velocidad radial, 18,00 km/s, se deduce que se aleja de la Tierra a más 64 800 km/h. Esta velocidad está originada por los movimientos orbitales del Sol y de M16 alrededor del núcleo de la Vía Láctea.
El famoso nombre que se le da a los pilares de esta nebulosa ("Los Pilares de la Creación") es por el grandioso hecho de que en esta nube de gases nacen (cada tanto) estrellas jóvenes. En contra parte, fallecen también muchas estrellas, aunque sus restos luego se vuelven parte de nuevos y brillantes astros. Los investigadores también han denominado a "Los Pilares de la Creación" con el singular apelativo de: "trompas de elefante", debido al extraordinario aspecto que presentan al ser observados dentro de la ventana del rango visible del espectro electromagnético. Los pilares oscuros se pueden visualizar utilizando telescopios reflectores, cuyo espejo primario tenga como mínimo un diámetro de 12 pulgadas.
La nebulosa Omega, a la derecha de la toma (también conocida como la nebulosa del Cisne, la nebulosa del Calzador, la nebulosa de la Langosta, M17 y NGC 6618) es una región HII en la constelación de Sagitario. Fue descubierta por Philippe Loys de Chéseaux en 1745 y Charles Messier la catalogó en 1764.
Se encuentra a una distancia entre 5000 y 6000 años luz, y tiene un tamaño de unos 15 años luz de diámetro, estando asociada a una nube molecular de unos 40 años luz de diámetro y una masa de 30000 masas solares. La masa total de la nebulosa Omega se calcula en unas 800 masas solares y es una de las regiones HII más brillantes y masivas de nuestra galaxia; si no aparece más impresionante es por verse prácticamente "de canto".

l'été arrive doucement, avec ses constellations et ses nébuleuses
Direction la constellation du Serpent (partie de la queue de celle-ci).
Je vous présente la « célèbre » nébuleuse de l’Aigle, elle fait partie des nébuleuses les plus photographiées par tous les astronomes.
C'est une nébuleuse à émission enveloppant un petit groupe d’étoiles, l’amas ouvert M16 distante de nous de 7000 années-lumière.
La nébuleuse de l’Aigle par sa nature est une pouponnière d’étoile qui a donné naissance à cet amas ouvert par effondrement de son nuage.
Les étoiles se forment rarement isolément.
Les étoiles simples sont rares, les doubles fréquentes.
Les étoiles se forment très souvent à partir de très gros nuages de gaz et de poussières, qui se fragmentent en s’effondrant, et donnent naissance à de nombreuses étoiles en même temps.
Ce sont les amas ouverts.
Un amas ouvert regroupe environ de 100 à 10000 étoiles.
Au début, les étoiles d’un amas ouvert sont très proches les unes des autres, et elles se déplacent à peu près dans le même mouvement, de très faibles fluctuations initiales suffisent pour qu’au cours du temps (plusieurs centaines de millions d’années !) l’amas ouvert se disloque, les étoiles s’éloignant les unes des autres.
On observe dans notre Galaxie quelques centaines d’amas ouverts.
Le plus célèbre et le plus remarquable est l’amas des pleiades, visible à l’automne, il ressemble grossièrement à une Grande Ourse miniature.
Notre étoile a fait partie d’un amas ouvert lors de sa naissance.
La nébuleuse est rendue visible par l’excitation du gaz qui la compose, principalement l’hydrogène, ionisé par le rayonnement des jeunes étoiles formées et celles toujours en cours de formation.
Le centre de la nébuleuse est formée par des structures en colonne surnommées «Piliers de la création», trois colonnes d’hydrogène moléculaire froid et de poussières surmontées de petits globules (de futures étoiles).

The Eagle Nebula (M16) and the Omega Nebula (M17) are two iconic star-forming regions located in the constellation Serpens and Sagittarius, respectively. Both lie in the same rich region of the Milky Way and are separated by just a few degrees in the sky—making it possible to capture both in a single wide-field frame.
M16 (Eagle Nebula) is about 7,000 light-years away and is best known for the "Pillars of Creation," towering columns of gas and dust imaged famously by Hubble. This nebula spans roughly 70 light-years and is an active stellar nursery teeming with young, hot stars that sculpt the surrounding gas.
M17 (Omega/Swan/Nebula) lies slightly farther away at about 5,500 light-years and is one of the brightest and most massive H II regions in our galaxy. It spans roughly 15 light-years across and glows intensely due to ionization from its embedded young stars.

The famous "Pillars of Creation" in the Eagle Nebula (M16) made from image data acquired by Hubble on Sept. 5, 2014 in visible wavelengths. These are clouds of cold hydrogen gas several light-years long, about 7,000 light-years away in our galaxy.
Happy with this - first attempt at it as well.
Generally, an okay object but if you zoom into its center, you will see the so-called "Pillars of Creation", made famous by (much better than my) images made by Hubble.
The Pillars of Creation (Eagle Nebula, or Messier 16) are a stellar nursery, composed of gas and dust slowly eaten away by massive stars. Stars are being born inside the pillars due to the gas compressed into collapse by the powerful winds from the massive star cluster. The pillars are slowly being eroded but continue jutting out into the cleared region. This object lies 7,000 light years from Earth.
