Eagle Nebula in H-alpha, OIII, and SII, with RGB stars

M16, the Eagle Nebula. This is a total of about 14 hours of integration time over several nights. Green is hydrogen, red oxygen, and blue sulfur; I also shot an hour or so of "normal" color for the stars and composited that in.

Just visible in the center of the image is the region that makes up the famous Hubble "Pillars of Creation" picture.
