A photo of the "Eagle Nebula M16 ", in Serpens Cauda, photographed from Butterpot on July 4, 2008 by Tim Caruk. The Eagle Nebula is shown here as imaged by my 6 inch refractor scope from St John's on July 4 2008. At the centre are the so called Pillars of creation (Star formation) made famous by the Hubble. I combined 79 10 sec images with Deep Sky Stacker. The camera used was a modified Canon 350d.
Both visible and infrared light composed the image using a Baader UHC-s filter.. Click image for full original photo.
