That`s something else, Baz. You can even see the Pillars of Creation in the Eagle; one of my favorite nebulae.

The Eagle is very good but my favorite is the spectacular Omega Cluster. It's not something we can see from the UK unfortunately so thanks very much for sharing it with us. I'm looking forward to seeing more subs added...
