M16 & The Pillars of Creation
Been a long time on my list of targets. I had to wait many months since purchasing my 122mm app for it to rise and clear the trees near my home. This target is where I believe it all began. Such an ethereal feeling from something so far away. While it is my first attempt at it and processing isn’t the easiest for me, especially with the colour palettes. I’m quite pleased with the results. Hopefully I will get more time on it soon but I’m currently enjoying star hopping with my new apo.
