This is a widefield, narrowband view of the Eagle Nebula (upper orange and blue nebula), or M16, and the Omega Nebula, lower blue nebula, or M17:
The Eagle Nebula is about 5,700 light years from us and the Omega nebula is between 5,000 and 6,000 light years from us. To the immediate right of the Omega Nebula (right beside it), is IC 4706 and IC 4707, and to the right side of that (bottom right of image, partly cut-off) is IC 4701.
This is a narrowband (SHO) image presented here in the Hubble Palette.
