Image of the central region of open cluster M16 and the

Eagle Nebula by Jack Newton.

The dark gaseous “Elephant Truncs” are well exhibited in this view; this

is the region portraited on the famous

Hubble Space Telescope images of M16.

This image was taken by Jack Newton in East Sooke, British Columbia.

He uses a Santa Barbara Instrument Group ST 6 CCD camera at the

Newtonian focus of his 25 inch f5 telescope. The image is a tri-colour

composite, approximately 5 minute exposures.
