M16 Eagle Nebula

[kimo]

I have managed to image M16 nebula. stellar spire on the left side of the Eagle and pillars of creation at center. I mostly imaged after 12.40am at rooftop of car park, few nights came back home empty handed due to sky condition. I think still I have to grab more exposures to bland with SII. I used WO 120mm Refractor. Thanks.

Wow, nice shot. Love the detail on the pillars.

Thanks. I added more SII and processed.

Hi Kimo,

Wow !!! This one with more SII is not nice ( nice is understatement), this is super excellent !!! esp. as i know it is shot from our light polluted city, Singapore & if i am not wrong, Bukit Panjang

Very detailed image, Kimo! The colours on the second version is well balanced. Love the hints of blue in the nebulosity!

Thanks all. Yes, it is from Bt Panjang. I never imaging from other country cause my setup cant bring too far.

I want to share my experience of the moment of imaging Eagle Nebula. I had chosen the spot for 105deg angle was on top of the car park, I didn't realized that surround and far light could produce glare ring surround the field after process. it was almost hidden in every exposures of few nights, It really set back with question mark (?), all images were not usable (may be I couldn't processed it to remove glare). after short while, done some test and suffered lens condensation problem. I started to study on making perfect shield that will solve two problems, surround lights glare and condensation (not 100%). now I think it's ok, as you seen the processed image. Thanks.
