Description

Here are the Pillars of the Soul Nebula ( IC1848 ). Less famous than the Pillars of Creation yet equally fascinating and beautiful. These gas clouds are structures where the intense formation of new stars is occurring, stars nurseries, literally! I collected the image last night under an 89% illuminated Moon, but thanks to the hydrogen-alpha filter that I used the Moon didn't affect the acquisition too much. For the first time, I used Siril for stacking - quite pleased with the result -  DSS was giving me some weird moire square pattern I could not get rid of.
