Pillars of Creation is a photograph taken by the Hubble Space Telescope of elephant trunks of interstellar gas and dust in the Eagle Nebula, in the Serpens constellation, some 6,500–7,000 light-years from Earth. These elephant trunks had been discovered by John Charles Duncan in 1920 on a plate made with the Mount Wilson Observatory 60-inch telescope. They are so named because the gas and dust are in the process of creating new stars, while also being eroded by the light from nearby stars that have recently formed .     This image consists of a total of 11hrs and 50min of exposure taken over two nights.  This is made up of the following individual frames:

I took the images from my backyard observatory using an Astro-Tech AT130EDT telescope with a  focal length 910mm.  I used the ZWO ASI 294MM Pro camera and Antlia LRGB and Narrowband filters.   All process using PixInsight.
