Description

June 15, 2020 - Pillars of Creation (M16)

Here is a fun fact about this image, back at Covid time light and smoke pollution dropped dramatically, usually I would not shoot any target towards the South back then because that's where downtown Detroit is and mostly I will get nothing useful, but with less light pollution I gave it a try and the data was okay but not really sharp because of bad seeing or something.Fast forward to now, with the help of BlurXTerminator I decided to give this old data another try and boy oh boy I am blown away with the amount of details that I am able to produce.

I did a comparison with Hubble's image and it is seriously not that bad.

I captured 25x4min for H-Alpha filter, 24x4min of Oiii filter and 34x4min of Sii filterwith a total exposure of 5.53 hours. Only used PixInsight and Luminar4 to produce this final image, I hope you like it.

Equipment used
Celestron 9.25" with 0.7x reducer
