Waiting for M16 to come into view from the balcony I took just 55min. exposure of this object I found in Stellarium. A pair of planetary nebula and galaxy similar to the famous Owl Nebula and M108 galaxy. Actually these two here are even much closer together. There are also other interesting looking galaxies in the field.
Exposure and processing: Dither guiding, dark & flat calibration, gradient removal, sharpening, noise removal.
