when I considered to fix my 95 version, Hubble uploaded the brand new 2014's . hesitated at the beginning but really sastify with my final result .
The Pillars of Creation, 60 minutes of integration in SHO with Planewave CDK24 610/3962 f 6/5 telescope, QHY 600M Pro camera, are 12 shots of which in Ha 3x300 seconds, in OIII 5x300 seconds and in SII 4x300 seconds, processing with Pixinsight and Photoshop. All data and shots were captured with Telescope Live. The Pillars are three very dense structures of gas and dust located in the southeastern edge of the Eagle Nebula; They were created by the action of the stellar wind of the giant stars of the central open cluster. Their cataloguing follows the ascending Roman numerals, so the individual structures are called Column I, Column II, and Column III, proceeding from northeast to southwest. The morphology and ionized structure is well known thanks to the advent of space telescopes: the ionizing radiation coming from the stars of the cluster compresses the gases of the molecular clouds increasing their pressure at the surface, while a photoevaporating flow of ionized material is generated on the opposite side of the source of the stellar wind; This is the phenomenon responsible for the "pillar" structure of clouds.
The lower-density matter is the first to be swept away, while the denser core, further compressed due to the shock wave front, survives, resisting the force. However, near-infrared images show that the first two columns have a relatively sparse structure, concentrated by much denser cores that defend it from the disruptive action of the wind. To the southeast of the Pillars is another molecular nebula structure, cataloged as Column IV, located near a known Herbig-Haro object, HH 216.
The total mass of the dense areas of the three Pillars is estimated at 200 M☉. The ionizing stars in the columns are located 2 parsecs away from them.
I took the infrared version and the optical version of the recently released Hubble Space Telescope image of the Pillars of Creation in the Eagle Nebula and added the pixels of each image resulting in a blown-out-looking nebula.
I think… my final version of my favourite thing I’ve ever created, “Pillars of Creation”. It was an absolute joy to process this image and learn so much. #JamesWebbSpaceTelescope #NASA #Esa_Webb #M16
I took the infrared version and the optical version of the recently released Hubble Space Telescope image of the Pillars of Creation in the Eagle Nebula and took the delta between each pixel resulting in a dark, psychedelic nebula.
I converted some of the previous "processed" M16 images to grayscale then combined them into an RGB image which came out far to magentaish.

Eagle Nebula (M16), 07/09/2020
We had a new moon and clear skies at the same time last weekend so there was no way I was passing up that opportunity. I hooked up the RV, kissed my wife goodbye, and headed to the hills to catch some photons! Things mostly went well, mostly. As I started to setup my gear at dusk, I realized I had forgotten a critical usb cable. This meant I needed to huck all the expensive equipment into the RV and run into town. This was a two-hour round trip to Wally World and back. Then re-setup the telescope and let it run into the wee hours of the night.
This is the Eagle Nebula, an object I have shot several times before, but this time I used a fancy light pollution filter. This filter makes it possible to process the data in a simulated Hubble Telescope color palette. Short explanation is that the filter separates the hydrogen-alpha (red) and the oxygen-III (blue) light-wavelengths into separate color channels during image processing.
The Eagle Nebula is a 5.5-million-year-old cloud of molecular hydrogen gas and dust stretching approximately 70 light years by 55 light years. It lies about 6,500 light-years away. The “Eagle” itself in the center is the famous Hubble image, “The Pillars of Creation”.

This object includes the "Pillars of Creation", made famous by one of the most impressive Hubble Space Telescope images.
Here I used a Canon EOS 40D & Celestron C8 telescope.
Manual off-axis guiding for 4 x 10 & 7 x 5-minute exposures at f6.3 and ISO 1600; subs registered & stacked using DeepSkyStacker software.
I painted this when I was staying at Skip's place, surrounded and inspired by her glorious stained glass art. It's of course based on the famous Hubble Space Telescope photo of titanic pillars of cosmic dust sprouting embryonic stars. It's psychedelic in its way; the whole prismatic range of color is there, but it's a nocturne, a rare psychedelic nocturne. This photo doesn't do justice to the lush juicy glazes and dusty oranges.
This HOO palate image of the Eagle Nebula with the Pillars of Creation, was taken 2024-06-08 with just under 4 hours of exposure from my garden in Austin, Texas under Bortle 7 city skies.

I took the infrared version and the optical version of the recently released Hubble Space Telescope image of the Pillars of Creation in the Eagle Nebula and took the XOR of each pixel which resulted in a slightly psychedelic-looking nebula.

I imaged this at F10 on my 8" SCT hoping that with the higher magnification I would get more detail in the pillars of creation... it's better then the one I've taken about 2 years ago using a f6.3 FR but it didn't come out as well as I hoped it would, the OIII and the SII data seemed to be very dim, so I had to push it more to bring out some nebulosity in that spectrum increasing the noise...

I took the infrared version and the optical version of the recently released Hubble Space Telescope image of the Pillars of Creation in the Eagle Nebula and took the mean of each pixel, which had the effect of merging the optical and infrared versions.
If you pull back from the Eagle Nebula (M 16), you realize why it's called the Star Queen. I didn't believe there was a nebula that resembled a woman after seeing other people's pictures, so I had to find out for myself. Sure enough, there she was. I spent quite a while working on this photo trying to get it right.
There are different opinions on what the nebula looks like where some say she's a clown, a jester, a woman from the middle ages, a woman blowing a dandelion, a woman with a nose ring, or just a nebula. You can make your own interpretation. I purposely made the middle section brighter to bring out the cheeks though.

My first try at this object. Not too bad but I couldn't get much time on it because of its low position in the sky and a large spruce tree in my neighbour's yard.

Seguimiento del proyecto que, en su versión preliminar, terminó formando parte de la portada del grupo de este mes (muchas gracias por su apoyo!!!), pero ahora con mas tiempo de integración (~13 horas) y en paleta Hubble (RGB=SHO).
La parte obscura de la foto está muy ruidosa, a pesar del tiempo de integración, aun así me sorprende que esta información salió de un telescopio de apenas 6 cm de diámetro.
Gracias por ver y comentar!

The Eagle Nebula a beautiful region of active star formation. Its distance from earth is 7000 lights years and it is located in the next inner spiral arm of the Milky Way.
The nebula is a giant cloud of interstellar gas and dust (70 x 55 LY), and has already created a considerable cluster of young stars. With only 5.5 Million years of age these young stars are burning very hot and energize the surrounding gas in the eagle nebula. Right in the heart of the Eagle Nebula are the famous “Pillars of Creation”. These are areas with higher density of gas and dust. The interstellar material is dense enough to collapse under its own gravitational weigh, forming young stars that continue to grow as they accumulate more and more material form their surroundings.

Pillar of Creation!!!
🚀
Pillars of Creation(M16 or Eagle Nebula) is a photograph taken by the Hubble Space Telescope of elephant trunks of interstellar gas and dust in the Eagle Nebula, specifically the Serpens constellation, some 6,500–7,000 light years from Earth.
🚀
According to NASA,These towering tendrils of cosmic dust and gas sit at the heart of M16, or the Eagle Nebula. The aptly named Pillars of Creation, featured in this stunning Hubble image, are part of an active star-forming region within the nebula and hide newborn stars in their wispy columns.
Although this is not Hubble’s first image of this iconic feature of the Eagle Nebula, it is the most detailed. The blue colors in the image represent oxygen, red is sulfur, and green represents both nitrogen and hydrogen. The pillars are bathed in the scorching ultraviolet light from a cluster of young stars located just outside the frame. The winds from these stars are slowly eroding the towers of gas and dust.
