Description

I remember seeing the Pillars of Creation picture from the Hubble telescope years ago, and it instantly ignited my interest in astronomy as a field.

This has been one of the more challenging shots to take because this target appears in between two trees in my yard for no more than 45 minutes.  It also is just over the roof of my neighbor's house, so between the short time, low altitude and difficulty getting decent seeing, I have thrown out more subs than I would like to admit.

It remains a work in progress.  I hope to shoot more OIII, and then add SII to make a Hubble palette out of this.  For the time being, here are the Pillars of Creation in HOO.  I hope you enjoy!
