M016_M017

Messier objects 16 and 17 are shown here and are well captured by the Canon EF200mm prime
lens. M17 (LHS of image) is also known as the Swan Nebula and it definitely has a distinct
swan shape when viewed through the eyepiece. M16 (RHS of image) is also known as the Eagle
Nebula as it has a shape resembling an eagle with outstretched wings.
