Description
M16 is an emission nebula located in the constellation Serpens. This nebula is about 7,000 light years away and contains an open cluster of young stars. Overall, this nebula also contains the smaller Eagle Nebula and the area known as the Pillars of Creation. Photographed earlier in June of 2014. Celestron C-11 with a Starizona Hyperstar (effective focal length of about 560mm @ f/2.0) and Atik 490EX color camera. This image is the result of a stack of images that, in total, was about a 40 minute exposure. Have to admit, I had some help from Maxim DL and Photoshop CS5.
Featured in the "Photographic Arts" fine arts group site. (Thank you editor!)

Thank you Marvin! As soon as the weather clears here in Tucson and we lose the full Moon, I will get started again!

Jerry - Thank you for your thoughts. One of these nights let's do some astrophotography out at your place. The skies out where your gallery is are great!

Thank you Laurie! Astrophotography is one of my many interests (when I have the time and clear skies to pursue it.)

Thank you Marvin! Astrophotography can be very time consuming and with different processes than other types of photography. My intention is to keep going. But, this time of year, Tucson, AZ gets quite a lot of rain and clouds.
