This is the second time this week you’ve treated us to a gorgeous image. Modern abstract artists make feeble efforts to create enjoyable art—at least some have that as a motive—but none can come close to what God already has fashioned. I have the Ultra-Deep Field as my computer-screen desktop and had the gorgeous “Pillars of Creation” Hubble photo on my office wall until I retired.

Thanks for the kind remarks. I’ve got to save these two most recent “The Big One”s.

Pillars of Creation, Hubble image?

Above is Hubbles Eagle Nebula M-16 (Pillars region close up) which Hubble made famous. This is probably similar to what you had hanging up on your office wall.

I was so impressed when I initially saw it I had to find this object and see it and shoot it myself. The below is my wide field of the entire nebula but on a much smaller budget than Hubble.☺

Below is my close up on central "pillar" area. Next time I visit this nebula, I am confident I can squeeze out much more data and obtain considerably more resolution detail by changing some data imaging/processing techniques, filtering changes, etc.
