Nature Pillars of Creation

Pillars of Creation · **6 Likes**

I shot the Sulfur II data last night to add to the data I shot last week, completing my first Pillars of Creation, or Eagle Nebula photo.

This is only 75 minutes of H-Alpha, 75 minutes of Sulfur II and 50 minutes of Oxygen III data. I need to shoot more data, but I only have about 2 hours a night where this is visible from my house.

I am thinking of taking the scope out to a different site this weekend so that I can shoot longer than 2 hours on this.

Anyway, here it is!

Looks great CJ. I'm not login got ask how you did it, because I already know it's way more effort than I'll aver get around to.

Thanks everyone.

Something wasn't sitting right with me with this image, but I didn't really see it until tonight. There was too much of a green/yellow cast to the image and it wasn't matching very good with the real Hubble images. So, I tried to fix it somewhat.

I am more happy with this revision as it is closer to the true Hubble Palette.

What equipment did you use for that?

Either way it’s pretty amazing imagery.
