The Eagle Nebula ( M16 ) : SHO-HOO-RGB Blend

 This is one of my favorites targets to image and I am glad I managed to capture it at the Texas Star Party. The combination is a 50/50 Blend of both HOO and SHO blend along with some tone mapping. RGB stars were added later. Unfortunately, I had to crop about 40% of the images due to flattener issues.
