M16 Eagle Nebula in Serpens

This is the famous Eagle Nebula in the constellation Serpens, shot with monochrome Ha filter due to full moon being nearby. Some of the most famous Hubble Space Telescope images are of the "Pillars of Creation", which are in the core of the nebula.

The smaller bit of nebulosity top right is RCW162, another Ha region.
