M16 - Eagle Nebula and Pilars of Creation

By Rodrigo Maeda

M16 became very famous due to the photos obtained by the Hubble telescope and later by James Webb, which focused on the Pillars of Creation. Located in the constellation of Serpens, it is widely photographed by amateur astrophotographers. Here is my version of this magnificent nebula. During 3 nights I pointed my telescope, collecting 10h of data. Valparaiso São Paulo, Brazil.
