Frank AdlerEagle and Omega Nebulae
####################
After months of short and cloudy nights, it finally became clear and I was able to capture one more of my bucket list objects.
This is a widefield image of the Eagle and Omega Nebulae in the constellation Serpens. The Eagle Nebula (M 16) is the bright nebula in the center, while the Omega Nebula (M 17) is the bright nebula on the right side of the image. The Eagle Nebula is located at a distance of about 7.000 light-years from earth, while the Omega Nebula is located at a distance of about 5.500 light-years from earth.
If you zoom close enough to the center of the Eagle Nebula, you will find the famous Pillars of Creation, which are a set of elephant trunks of interstellar gas and dust, about 6.500-7.000 light-years away from earth.
I hope you like it!
