This is Messier 16 (M16 or NGC6611) most commonly known as the Eagle Nebula. This photograph is 10 photos at 25" each stacked in Deep Sky Stacker and processed with GIMP. This was taken with my Meade 8" LX90 with my Canon EOS Rebel T3.
   The Eagle Nebula is a young open cluster of Stars located in the constellation of Serpens. It was discovered in 1745 by Jean Phillippe de Cheseaux. This nebula is famous for the Long spikes sticking up, they are called the Pillars of Creation. This nebula is about 7,000 Light years away. Scientists discovered that a Supernova destroyed the Pillars but, we will not notice them gone for about another 1,000 years.
