M16 Eagle Nebula Core

[EnteringIntoSPACE]

The core of M16 The Eagle Nebula
In Super Lum SHO
21 hrs of data captured between 1am and 5 am over several nights! Including the support of 2 different mounts!
If you're up for capturing the eagle core the sulfur signal is sick with structure, really surprised me!
There is 10% crop as I shot this at my longest focal length since fall down the rabbit hole at 1635mm
The Ioptron RC 8 did amazing.
Another project in the books orchestrated by the simple to use Asi Air Pro.
Subs were 6 min at unity gain.

Wow - stunning color show. This looks like an image that would make a good wall poster for deep space photography. Nice work.

Hey Thanks Alan!

This is indeed a wow image. All deep space images are usually spectacular but this one really grabs you.

Never fails to fascinate. Nice take on this with great color and detail.

This is so awesome Steve! Love the detail and the separation of the pillars of creation. I captured Eagle Nebula this last Tuesday, but with just a dslr, sadly my results will not look like this.

I am looking to buy the ASIair Pro and guide cam package they sell. I figure that will be my next step up.

Beautiful image, Steve.

Really wonderful to see this with this much detail and subtle coloring, especially at this magnification. Awesome job! I have the same guide cam and an earlier version of the same camera. At some point if I get my higher mag scope back online I will have to try this. I have a widefield of it at about 580mm that I like quite a bit but nothing with more magnification that I have imaged on it yet. Your result is very inspirational though!
