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.

Yep, that's the one. Your photo is magnificent! How about some technical detail, just for fun, about your telescope and camera?

It occurs to me that the time may not be far off, with SpaceX trying to drive down launch-costs, that some entrepreneur might launch a telescope and offer buffs such as you, for a fee, some telescope time. Could happen...
