Description

The Pillars of Creation! 

Huge thank you to Terry Robinson for encouraging me to get back to work on this target and finally make a presentable piece of it. We both agree if it weren't for that Hubble image, would we ever really spend so much time on this particular structure?

While it may not the sharpest image of the Pillars on Astrobin, I at least know all of the work and processing behind it that helped push it to this final stage. Maybe one day I will beat Hubble, but that day is not today

Time to put this one back on the shelf for a while unless I have another processing breakthrough or add some more time to it.
