Micro-observatory Image 4.9

This processed Micro-observatory image is of the Eagle Nebula (Messier 16) located in the constellation Serpens. At the center of the nebula is a young, open cluster of stars. Around the stars are clouds of dust from which the stars are "born" from. In the image you can sort of see the dust clouds and their pillar-like shape. When processing, I did not reduce the noise of any of the RGB pictures so it is minimally adjusted. This attempt at processing an image of the Eagle Nebula was much more successful than my last attempt. The images I received last time were distorted by clouds so they were blurry.
