Eagle Nebula from the UK


Recommended Posts

A very tough and challenging target for my latitude, the Eagle nebula is crossing the meridian at only 24° in altitude and it's scraping the neighbour's roofs but I had to try out a Hubble Space Telescope challenge. 
Also, the fact that London is not that far in the south doesn't help either but hey ho, I did it.

I added the HST photo to compare my results and even though my photo is not very close to it I'm extremely pleased with the result.

For more details here's the astrobin link: https://www.astrobin.com/u39r7y

I hope you like it too!

Stunning!! 

I’m currently capturing data on M16 myself when the clouds allow (not often!) 

I am a bit further north than London (Lancaster) and it’s just scraping 22° and using a different scope and config but if I manage to put together anything close to your result I’d be very happy! 

Well done!

Thank you Bryan, I can only imagine how much more difficult it must be from further up north. Please do post a photo here when you finish it! 🙂

All I can wish you is clear and steady skies, I was very lucky to have that.

Great capture Emil! This is on my wishlist! I have a 2/3 hour window on this between mid July and mid August. You would think it would be ideal weather this time of year for this but Gulf Stream says otherwise.
