Taken on 22 March 2015 with my DSLR. I know the colours aren't a typical reproduction however I'm quite fond of the Hubble palette and added some creative license.
It's amazing what a change in perspective can bring! If you look closely in the first image you can see Toothless (How To Train Your Dragon), on the right, about to engage in battle with another dragon launching itself at him
The second image, simply rotated 180 degrees, brings about a nice "deep space" view of the Eagle Nebula. Finally, a close-up image of the Pillars of Creation. Given the tallest pillar is roughly 4 light years tall, it's not a bad attempt given the target is approximately 7000 light years away! Need to ease up on the heavy processing, but still limited at the moment to ISO 6400 whilst I'm learning. Keen to get out again soon for some longer frames at lower ISO.
Anyway, just thought I'd share what can be achieved with an un-modified DSLR, a high ISO and short subs (11 x 90 sec exposures - guided). Clear skies!
Cheers
