M16 - EAGLE NEBULA


This is an image of M16 an open cluster with nebulosity located in the constellation of Serpens. It is commonly known as the Eagle Nebula for obvious reasons. I imaged this using my MN56 with Baader 0.5X FR and Moon and Skyglow filter. Image represents sum of 132 X 10 secs subs and was processed using Registax and Photoshop. During post processing I decided to try and add some false colour Ha using some Astronomy Tools developed for Photoshop by Noel Carboni the result of which can be seen in the 2nd image.
