M16 - the Eagle Nebula

The Eagle Nebula, imaged with a 100mm Skywatcher Esprit refractor and an ASI071MCPro camera. The image was compiled from forty 180-second frames processed in PixInsight and Photoshop.

Fine nebulosity and the pillars show up with some good detail.
Star colors are a bit aqua and rather bloated - were you using a neb filter?
Fine stuff Tim.

What Anthony said - good work on the nebula.

Maybe try a larger number of shorter exposures to stop over-exposing the stars?

Cheers,

You are completely correct, and I shall attempt to do better next time (perhaps you may recognise the movie reference).
