Description

Hello! Here's an image I captured over about ten days of the pillars of creation inside the eagle nebula, about 7,000 light-years away.  I used a large 16" aperture telescope and active optics to get a resolution of around 0.2" per pixel. We have been working hard to get auto guiding perfect, so some of the subs for this image were slightly trailed. So more details are definitely possible from this scope. Gear:-RCOS 16" Ion Milled-ZWO ASI6200MM Pro-Astrodon SHO filters-Paramount ME-SX AO Unit with SX UltrastarExposure:27hrs total of 5min exposures

Hope y'all enjoy!
