Pillars of creation (M16 Eagle nebula)

Ever since I've imaged M16 I've always wanted to get the Star Queen, as we used to call it, before Hubble came along and now it's famous as the pillars of creation. I think this the first image with my new LRGB filter set, though there is a rogue YG filter in there added to the green layer.

Red - 172 x 60 secs, Green - 165 x 60 secs, Blue - 146 x 60 secs. Just over 8 hours. ZWO ASI 183mm Pro, de-forked Meade LX90 ACF 8" F10 SCT, HEQ5 Pro guided with PHD2.
