Messier 16, The Eagle Nebula

The Eagle Nebula (Messier 16) in the constellation Serpens imaged by a Vaonis Vespera (Classic) smart telescope using a dual band H-alpha and O-III filter in a Bortle 7 zone, 892 10-second exposures, post processing in Adobe CS5 and Luminar Neo with noise reduction using Topaz Denoise AI.

The "Pillars of Creation," featured in the famous Hubble Telescope image can be seen in the center of the nebula as well as an open cluster of young stars.
