Description

This image features my version of the Pillars of Creation whose data has been gathered thanks to ShaRA Project.
What is ShaRA? It's a new open project - "Shared Remote Astrophotography”- born from the collaboration of dozens of astrophotographers from different countries and it is based on crowd or group funding for buying imaging time on large telescopes around the world. Regarding this project, ShaRA team agreed upon renting the Telescope 1 from Chilescope observatory service.

I kept as close as possible to the color palette of the celebrated version by Hubble telescope….
I can conclude by saying that it was my dream to process data on this target and it was fantastic to handle files from high-end equipment.

Thanks to the ShaRA team and clear skies!!!
