Description:
Original set of lights were taken 7-2023, and I always wanted to add to them, missed last year but last week 6-23 through 6-25 I was able to add additional 10 hours making a total of 180 (5) min lights These towering tendrils of cosmic dust and gas sit at the heart of Messier 16, or the Eagle Nebula. The aptly named Pillars of Creation, are part of an active star-forming region within the nebula and hide newborn stars in their wispy columns. M16 is the collective name for two distinct objects that are listed separately in astronomical catalogues: an emission nebula, referred to as IC 4703, and an open star cluster, designated as NGC 6611.
