This imagine was taken whilst at Watson's Way Country Stay which is N/E of Mukinbudin in Western Australia.
The Eagle nebula is a emission nebula and open star cluster. It contains those famous Hubble Space Telescope images of the "Pillars Of Creation", which are columns of cool hydrogen gas and dust protruding from a molecular cloud. New stars are being formed in these clouds.
