Wide angle image of M16, the Eagle Nebula and NGC6604, an open cluster with nebulosity. 17x15 second FIT. I was trying to get my bearing in this region of the Milky Way so I decided to take some images of M16 with some of my SLR lenses. This is a definite telescope object! Histogram and curves done in PhotoShop. Telescope: - Camera: Meade DSI Pro. 55mm 1:1.8 camera lens stopped down to 2.8 attached for wide field of view. Atop Orion EQ1 motorized mount. Filtration used: Baader UV/IR Cut filter
