Description

Hi everyone, after my last rendition of the entire frame of M16, I've tried to focus more on the pillars and to bring more details and contrast to it.

M16 has a huge dynamic range, so it's very difficult to achieve good balance for every part of the nebula, so I thought that cropping the image and reprocessing it would be easier that the entire frame (I was very wrong).

At least for me this was a very hard image to achieve, and I hope you enjoy it

Clear skies!
