M16 - The Eagle Nebula
M16 - The Eagle Nebula
The Eagle Nebula is a young open cluster of stars in the constellation Serpens, discovered in 1745–46. The dark silhouette near the center of the nebula is the area made famous as the "Pillars of Creation" imaged by the Hubble Space Telescope.

Space!!
Were you lucky enough to see Comet Swan?
Comet C/2025 R2 (SWAN) was imaged in October as it crossed the galactic plane of the Milky Way. This photo was taken by Daniele Gasparri from his home in the Chilean Atacama Desert.

The Eagle Nebula
The Eagle has landed in the night sky. /
Swirling, twirling, flying on wings of light /
Feathers of photons, flapping the eons by /
waiting for those who look to find delight.

M16 Eagle Nebula - telescope processed image. M16, the Eagle Nebula, is a vibrant star-forming cloud famous for the iconic Pillars of Creation, towering columns of gas and dust where new stars are born.
M16 Eagle Nebula - unprocessed image. The famous "Pillars of Creation" within M16 are being slowly destroyed by the powerful ultraviolet light and stellar winds from the hot, young stars nearby.

SII filter - so bright and tons of detail!
Ha filter
OIII filter - there's no definition outside of the core, but there is tons of detail which contributes the strong blue to the middle
Individual filter results for Eagle Nebula. The SII in particular is incredibly bright!

The Eagle Nebula spans the frame from top to bottom with a bright blue central area dominating the frame. The famous Pillars of Creation rise from the bottom of the blue.
I am absolutely delighted to share this image of Messier 16, the famous Eagle Nebula. I couldn't wait to point my monochrome ToupTek ATR585M at it and I was not disappointed.

✨ Eagle Nebula – The Pillars of Creation in Gold & Turquoise Here we see one of the most iconic structures in the cosmos – the Pillars of Creation, embedded in the Eagle Nebula (Messier 16) in the constellation Serpens. These gigantic gas and dust formations are star-forming regions – enormous pillars shaped by the light of young stars. What we see here happened around 7,000 years ago. And perhaps what we consider to be ‘creation’ is long gone. Taken with the remote telescope of the Vienna Working Group for Astronomy at the legendary Hakos Astrofarm in Namibia – it was my tenth session, and a very special one. Here I can see most clearly the difference between my own many photographs of this nebula taken from my city balcony – Namibia's sky is simply hard to beat 🙂 This gold-turquoise edition was created with a modified SHO colour scheme – it shows the ionised gases in a new light. I am particularly impressed by the close-up, in which the fine structures of the pillars stand out clearly from each other. I didn't think I could bring out so many details at this focal length in the crop! Here are some more lights for more depth, and... Well, it's not going anywhere 🙂 ‘We are a kind of being that asks about origins – and the amazing thing is: the universe answers.’ 📍 Location: Hakos Astrofarm, Namibia Vienna Astronomy Remote Telescope 📅 Period: 19–22 July 2025 🔭 Telescope: ASA 12" Newton f/3.6 | 1334 mm 📷 Camera: Touptek DeepskyPro 2600m 🎯 Filter & exposure: 🎯 Filter: L64×60s, R|G|B 16×120s each, hA 16x180s 🧠 Processing: PixInsight, Photoshop, BlurX, StarX, NoiseX, Drizzle, GHS, MaskedStrech #astrophotography #eaglenebula #m16 #pillarsofcreation #shonebula #spaceart #astrobin #deepsky #hakosfarm #namibia #artofpix #artofpixastro

A small, dark, wedge-shaped cloud stands out against the glowing background of the Eagle Nebula. The nebula is filled with reddish and orange gas, scattered stars, and diffuse light. The dark cloud, known as a Bok globule, appears dense and opaque, obscuring the stars behind it.
A dark shape drifts in a sea of stars.
This tiny wedge of gas and dust, called a Bok globule, floats inside the Eagle Nebula. One day, it may collapse to form a star.

M16 - Eagle Nebula - processed image. Love the color the telescope software gives it.
M16 - Eagle Nebula - u processed image. You can start to see details of the nebula. In this case I enjoy the processed image more.
Forgot to post my observation for today. Other than a very blurry image of Saturn, decided to spend my time observing the #M16 - #EagleNebula. Share both the processed and unprocessed images. 48 minute duration. Only other edit is I rotated the images to […]

A stunning image of the Eagle Nebula (M16), a vibrant star-forming region located 6500 light-years away in the constellation Serpens. The image, captured by a 0.9-meter telescope at Kitt Peak, showcases the nebula's iconic pillars of dust and gas, illuminated by bright, young stars. The colors represent different emitted wavelengths of light, revealing the complex processes of stellar birth within this cosmic masterpiece.

For fun I processed the H-alpha data on my Eagle Nebula. It's only an hour so far but it already looks good. Will definitely get several more hours before it's done. I cropped in on the Pillars of Creation to see their detail.

Had some time to kill before WR134 comes up so trained the scope on the Eagle Nebula. Never imaged it before. The new scope is amazing with the detail it brings with shorter exposures.

#eaglenebula Eagle Nebula is a star-forming region and emission nebula located in the constellation Serpens, approximately 6,500-7,000 light-years from Earth.
James Webb Space Telescope's NIRCam image of the Pillars of Creation in the Eagle Nebula (M16). This stunning near-infrared view reveals intricate details of star formation within these light-year-long columns of gas and dust, showcasing reddish emission from collapsing material. Located 6,500 light-years away in the Serpens Cauda constellation, this stellar nursery is a breathtaking example of cosmic beauty and the ongoing processes of stellar birth.

A false-color infrared image of the Eagle Nebula (M16), a star-forming region 7,000 light-years away in the constellation Serpens. Blue hues represent complex carbon molecules (PAHs), while red shows cold dust grains. This image, created using data from ESA's Infrared Space Observatory, reveals the processes of stellar birth within this cosmic nursery.
