Like a soaring eagle rising up to an egg in it's nest, here we have the famous M16 Eagle, soaring up past open cluster NGC 6604 towards Sh2-54 top right.
The bright nebula within is Gum-85. The ring around it is Gum-84.
Together, they are called the "nested egg" nebula. (well maybe, I read that somewhere anyway)
The cluster below is NGC6604. M16 is of course bottom of frame.

I'll have a crack at full NB on this when the skies clear again.
