Description

Presenting the Pillars of Creation, towering tendrils of cosmic dust and gas in the heart of the Eagle Nebula (M16)

This was a tough project as I had to battle through some smoke haze nights and some bright moon but pretty satisfied with this.

Decided to go starless to accentuate the pillars and I hope I have done it justice.
