Eagle Nebula in Serpens

The Eagle Nebula is a classic and as part of the Milky Way Core is always fun to take pics of.

20 hours of exposure sure makes a difference in the amount of detail in a pic.

ASI2600MC Pro g100, Askar V@600f7.5, 118 10min exposures (19.7 hours total) +darks/biases/flats
AM5/ASIair+, EAF, Askar OAG with ASI174mini for guiding

PixInsight 100%.

I took a lot of pics of Eagle Nebula both with a UVIR filter and an Antlia Triband filter. In the end the shots with the UVIR filter just seemed to work best. I spent a lot of time developing this pic different ways and in the end using the more basic version and it seemed to work well.
