Equipment:

Description:
I was a visual astronomer for years but my light polluted area, in addition to a medical injury, restricted my views. I turned to imaging in 2021 and I was stunned by what a camera could see that my eyes alone could not. I have always loved the Hubble "Pillars of Creation" so my goal was to embrace my personal rendition. I love the wide fov as it captures the "awe" sentiment where one enters a hallway and in wonder, sees the Pillars.
