The Eagle Nebula!

(M16)

The Eagle Nebula is a vast star-forming cloud about 6,500 light-years away. Within it, the Pillars of Creation

are towering columns of gas and dust where new stars are forming, famously photographed by the Hubble and James

Webb space telescopes. This image I worked on was taken from the darkest skies possible, under zero light pollution, known as bortle class 1. I completed this with 9hrs of total integration time, in LRGB. Completed July 17th, 2026.
