M16 Eagle Nebula

 

I was astonished to be able to photograph this with my SeeStar S30 from 55°N. It was only a few degrees above the horizon (20.5 at start, 14.7 at end) and I was aiming across urban Tyneside (North & South Shields). The light pollution filter in the S30 is clearly very well designed in terms of suitable bandwidths.

From Whitley Bay 55.1N 1.5W 10m asl. Suburban, significant light pollution (6.5 Bortles)
