M16 the eagle nebula [View all]

I aquired a new telescope that ive installed at a dark sky location about 3 hours from me (starfront). the scope is hooked up to a small computer so i can operate it over the internet from home

this is 15 hours of data on the eagle nebula. if you look at the center there are what are called teh pillars of creation,the subject of a famous hubble telescope shot.
