Eagle 55mm 15sec 110607 · 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.
