Description

This is a version of the Pillars of Creation, the core of M16, in the Hubble palette.
The picture is a crop of a previuos image processed by me and imaged with the  ASA RC1000 in the El Sauce Observatory in Chile with the service Chilescope.

12 astrophotographers put their resources together to make this possible, namely Alessandro Ravagnin, Rolando Ligustri, Vikas Chander, Andrea Bertocco, Christian Privitera, Cristiano Trabuio, Vittorio Liberti, Gianluigi Pazienza, Antonio Grizzuti, Egidio Vergani, Emanuele Stival, Gianpaolo Michieletto, Marco Firenzuoli.

It's a new project called Shared Remote Astrophotography (ShaRA) and is based on crowd or group funding for buying imaging time on large telescopes around the world.
