When I first started getting into astrophotography in late 2015 the one object that my mum wanted me to photograph was the Pillars of Creation. My first attempt was a test image to check out a new combination,
the QHY163M and Sky Rover 130mm F/5.
Sunday/Monday nights I decided to give it a go with the OSC as a filler after shooting a hamburger before potentially giving it another go again with mono in a few months when I finally have a mono cam again!
Seeing wasn't quite as good with one night averaging around 2.5" and the other around 1.8" so the final stack is around 2".
Processing has been very minimalistic even if the saturation has been pushed to 11
