It’s a challenge to image dark nebulae in light-polluted Flanders. So let’s try it!
This is the “little eagle” nebula, which I captured a few years ago as a tiny spot on a wide-field Plejades @180mm. Now the framing only features the Eagle head ; imaging with the Esprit and the ASI183mm.
It’s a bit dark – but what did you expect from a Dark Nebula? This is 10x300seconds on R, G and B channels and then 29x300s on Luminance. No Light Pollution filter used.
This is the overview, with on the right the Pleiades, and on the center left the Eagle Head (upside down).
