Couldn't waste an opportunity to capture M16, the Eagle Nebula on Wednesday evening, 1st June. Just 40 minutes exposure (20x120s) with some heavy processing gives this image of the open star cluster and the central region of the nebula, including the famous Pillars of Creation. Still fairly noisy but the window of opportunity is short from my back garden, with the object's low altitude (~22 degrees) & my local horizon. Looks like my RC6 needs some collimation magic to improve star shapes if anyone can offer advice for this😉

CS, Andy
