Description

Pillars of creation photo in 1995 is what really seeded my astrophotography interest...it seemed almost unbelievable, like a fantasy painting.  Altho I wouldn't get into the hobby for 15+ years I've only now taken a picture of them myself from my backyard in the Los Angeles suburbs (Bortle 8-9).  

Fun to see how a billion dollar space telescope compares to a backyard setup in the city.
