It’s Springtime and it marks the return of the Milky Way core and its plethora of nebulous regions. Yayyy 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾. This is my first project in the Milky Way’s core of the season. Meet the Eagle Nebula (M16 or Messier 16) and it’s surrounding nebulous regions. M16 is located some 7,000 lights years away from Earth in the constellation of Serpens.

This project initiation photo is a modest 35 minutes of integrated exposure. My goal is to complete this project with at least 10 hours worth of integration time. Stay tuned to my blog for updates on this project and remember to look up and experience an amazing universe.

#staytuned 😊
Nice photo! Good color, a lot of texture and quite a bit of detail. I think you said you were going to keep working on this and maybe have another showing even more structure. I’ll be looking forward to that! Good job and clear skies!
Thank you my friend. Yes I’m will keep working on it. Looking at adding 10 hrs of data
Nice job, nice color and texture. Pretty good detail! I will be waiting for more images if you think you can bring out even more detail!
Clear skies! 👍🤞🙏😀
Oh for sure. I have grasped the concept that in order for photos to be great, the more integration time is always best. I learnt that with the Christmas Tree Nebula 😊. But I’m glad it’s Milky Way season again. Lists of targets on my agenda. But I am taking my time to capture at least 10 hrs worth of data.
Noice work my love.
Thank you very much mi amor 🥰
Fantastic! I had never heard of the Eagle Nebula before, and now am a fan.
Thank you so much. I’ve been waiting all year for this. But stay tuned. I will keep capturing and adding more data to this. I’m expecting more details to come out.
