Andy Dungan 6/18/26 Eagle Nebula M16 (left) and Swan Nebula M17 (right) in Sagittarius 5600 ly away

I decided to take pics of both the Eagle and Swan Nebula because they are close (accomplished @ 384mm focal length with the 2600MC). Because these 2 nebulae are located in the Milky Way core there are LOTS of stars in the pic. Combining Ha data with the OSC data enriched the reds in the pic. I think I am done with the Milky Way core for this season. Perhaps next year I will zoom in on the individual items in the milky core.
