Messier 16 or the Eagle Nebula is a young open star cluster with stars in the constellation Serpent, discovered by Jean-Philippe de Chéseaux in 1745. It is also called NGC 6611.
Best known as the "Pillars of creation" imaged with the Hubble telescope and the new JWST.
My image is 4.5 hours of data from Chile with a 4 meter Planewave CDK24 telescope that has an aperture of 610mm. (Telescope Live)
The distance to M16 is 7000 light years.
