Eagle Nebula
Eagle Nebula: This is one of the best investigated nebula area in the sky, because it is a prototype star generating region. Especially the central part is very well known as the "Pillars of Creation". The Hubble Space Telescope image of this part is one of the most widely published and known Hubble pictures.
Another image of the central region you will find here.
The image was taken at the observatory of IAS at Hakos Farm in Namibia.
