The Eagle Nebula Like I've Never Imaged it Before
I have always wanted to image the Eagle Nebula but light pollution has limited my ability to! Telescope Live helped change that by allowing me to take this beautiful image of the Eagle Nebula and the Pillars of Creation! For more on how I took this picture, please check out my Telescope Live video over at youtube.com/latenightastronomy
