Description

With two clear nights in a row, I took on the challenge of a target I wanted to shoot for quite a while now.
The eagle nebula, famous for its pillars of creation, doesn`t rise above 28° from my location in southern Germany. And with a 60% illuminated moon in the sky, the conditions weren´t ideal.
But the compined power of the light bucket Samyang 135mm and the fantastic IMX571 sensor produced a fantastic result in a little less than six hours.
