Eagle Nebula M16 - The Sleeping Face.

Eagle Nebula M16 - The Sleeping Face.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eagle_Nebula

M16 Like you may have never see it before. I have to confess I know where the Eagle( its so small you would miss it) is but as a whole I see a sleeping face with closed Eyes and what looks like a beard. I even asked my wife to come look she did not even get past the door "there is a sleeping face, you can see the hair and the beard" and I did not say a word.
This is only possible With Carlos Taylor Smallrig getting to feel like its home. I do think we all get 100% dominated by longer focal lengths we do lose sight of the leaves on the tree . This is in part why I will not forget to use my nikon lens to bring to life the whole not just the macro with a 10".
Enjoy a whole new view and yes there has been some star reduction .

Thank you Chris There is a lot of work in these images not just the shot time but the time editing but I think well worth the time for the result. I have to wait patiently for my focuser So I can use the scope I want.

This is almost space Macro but some thing I will not call. I enjoy getting the time to bring things way past our view to life. Many thanks.
