The Eagle Nebula in True Color

Image Description and Details : First image using an ASI2600MC with a RASA8! This shows 15 hours on the Messier 16 Eagle Nebula region of the sky in true color, without the use of any filter. This region is most often captured in narrowband, but I like the true color feel for this particular part of the sky. You can see the wings of the eagle spanning in rich hydrogen alpha gas, and the bright stars lighting up the famous Pillars of Creation.
