Zoom-in On the Pillars of Creation! #shorts

This is the Hubble Space Telescope and here's one of its most famous pictures, the Pillars of Creation.

Is it possible for me to capture the Pillars with such a small home telescope?

Here's what I captured, the Omega nebula (6,000 light years from Earth) on the left and the Eagle nebula (7,000 light years from Earth) on the right. And the Pillars of Create are deep inside the Eagle nebula.

Imaging Telescope:
William Optics RedCat 51

Imaging Camera:
ZWO ASI2600MM Pro

Focuser:
ZWO EAF

Filter:
Optolong 3nm Narrowband

Mount:

Your videos bring me a weird sense of comfort. Thank you chuck.

Thanks for your beautiful pictures

Everything you do blows my mind. Absolutely love it

Crazy to think these pillars where likely destroyed from a supernova 6, 000 years ago. Great image Chuck!

Impressive! Amazing that we can take images of light from so far away

You make space interesting and fun for alot of people with these good videos.

Thank You for showing this in detail, it is just cool to see it from a different perspective. Makes it more real.

Me, with a 120 dollar celestron with no accessories or anything at all: “so your telling me theres a chance”

I captured the pillars also but wideband with the color cam. Came out mostly red but still awesome.

It's crazy to think that the pillars of creation are, and have been, gone for potentially thousands of years due to cosmic winds from distant nebulae and supernovae, but since the pillars of creation are 6, 500 light-years away, they could have been destroyed even 6, 000 years ago and been blown away, and we still wouldn't see it until 2, 520!!

I'm not sure if that's considering space stretching or not, and if not, then it may take even longer; but I'm not knowledgeable on that

Incridible..! Thanks for sharing & your efforts. ✌️

For a home telescope it works really well!Good job! 😄

Wow!! You sure did capture them!! Well done!
