M16 the eagle nebula

using 16 hours of data from the telescope.live remote observatory in australia. shot with 3 narrowband filters H-alpha,Sii and Oiii. I processed this using the HOO palette which maps h-alpha to red and ionized oxygen to green and blue. the nebula dosnt hae much ionized sulfur in it so i ignored the Sii data




a close up crop of part of the nebula known as the pillars of creation
