Very nice. What telescope were you using? How long exposure time?

Thanks. 10” Schmidt Cassegrain. I believe that shot was a series of 75 exposures x60 seconds each. That data was then calibrated, stacked and aligned into one image, and then I cropped the center pillars and enlarged it.

This was the original Eagle Nebula image after processing. The "Pillars of Creation" are seen at center and I then enlarged the central area.

Wow, you blew my mind.
Do you (Did you) work for NASA or JPL?

Nope, I never worked for those folks. I’m just an amateur.
