Surprisingly detailed - congrats! Of course, we can't expect the resolution of an 8 feet aparture. Surpising, what you can get from such a small telescope.
@MrGriff305 At the time hubble was launched to space, cameras weren´t good enough like they are today. Also, the pictures of hubble are way more detailed, you can zoom in and get lost in the nebulae, but you cant see that on the video obviously, you would have to download the full resolution image of the pillars of creation in order to understand what i am saying.
@MrGriff305 the pictures of hubble are not exactly what you see in publication images, the original tiff data of hubble images are so sharp and precise that its literally helps scientists to predict what's going on there. Plus, there were images of the eagle nebula way before hubble was a thing. This image taken by Trevor does not even have 5% quality of the original resolution of the hubble mosaic of the pillars of creation.
@@Cockalicious What ridiculous claims? Trevor took a picture of the Pillars that are remarkable considering he is using a 6 inch scope in his backyard. I do not recall him saying they will be as good as Hubble and he also said you be the judge. It is fuzzier, but at least he doesn't have the diffraction spikes like Hubble does. Webb has the worst diffraction spikes I've ever seen on any telescope. Optical engineer in my Astronomy club was shocked at how bad they are. Goes to show nothing is perfect. We haven't had cameras that can take pictures like Trevor just did for very long. I remember the black and white pictures from my 1960 Encyclopedia and there wasn't anything like what amateurs do in their backyards.
Makes me realise how insanely good the Hubble telescope is.. That's certainly no criticism of your image, it's just amazing how much detail is in the Hubble one. Thanks for the video :)
And even more insanely expensive. The 1st images from the Hubble were much worse than even an average astrophotographer from earth because of a defect in the mirror/lens or something - can't recall the details now. They had to do a couple of repair missions to get it to the level it was meant to operate. Total Cost I think hit the range of billions of dollars. Was it worth it? I don't know seeing this quality here I have my doubts..

The NASA pictures are actually processed differently because of the amount of data taken (which included the spectrum which are not visible to us). They can now even recreate many of them in 3d. This guy's work is amazing!
So impressive! I had my first night of skywatching with a telescope today, and was so excited to get that clear view of Jupiter and the Pleiades for the first time! After the clouds rolled in, it was such a treat to come inside and watch this.
yeah but a simple comparisson from a youtube video doesnt make justice to hubble´s image, i mean, you can zoom in and get lost in the nebulae in the full resolution picture, you can observe tiny structures, hubble´s picture of the pilars of creation is a thousand times of better quality.
Hey Trevor, this reveal do not fit. This picture is absolutely incredible considering where you took it. It's always amazing to me what we can capture here on Earth with our resources for images from our universe. It is also no coincidence that this hobby has become your profession. I think NASA will contact you soon😄.
This is amazing. You can't out-do NASA, but you're out here out-doing ALOT of other Astronomers both amateur and professional. Keep pushing the limits!
Certainly got me down the path of Poverty as I endevor to take such photographs, Wish i started here before buying my first telescope, took the 2nd one to get on the right path. Trevor helped a lot with his videos. and Yes no amateur.
Are you kidding? You're image is 100000000% something to be proud of. Your channel has been the inspiration for me to get into astro. Just using lenses (Canon L glass) but I could only dream of getting something that good.
It really embarrasses NASA as u captured such a photo with a little refractor whose focal length is even smaller than the aperture of Hubble. Good work man!
You compare your image to the „anniversary image“ of 2015, which is really unfair! It’s not just the billions of building Hubble, not just the aperture, the lack of atmosphere but also 4 „Update missions“ and a team of professionals creating that picture over months. It can‘t hold up to this, you know that, but even to be thinking about it shows what an extreme level you‘ve reached. On the other hand you are right: Last night we had one of those rare clear nights here in Switzerland. So I took my 6‘‘ SC-telescope out and pointed it to the eagle nebula, on an alt-az-mount and my daily dslr with a red filter behind it, collecting a fraction of your data - and YES 🤩! you can see the pillars! Love your videos and the picture of the entire nebula is just breathtakingly beautiful!
Trevor be proud of yourself, I am interested in Astronomy but I would not be even where to look to see the Pillars of Creation you're a Pro mate, greetings from Australia
Excellent job Trevor, this video made me remember first time i saw the pillars using a dslr with my canon 500mm f4, only a few pixels on the pillars but still rewarding, keep on bringing good content!
That is amazing for a backyard photo. Seriously. I mean, obviously the Hubble is a completely different level of clarity and resolution, but what you managed to accomplish with such a relatively crude set of tools (as advanced as they objectively are) is nothing short of stunning.
to say its an embarresment would be really rude considering that 99% of people will never be able to take a photo like this. That being said i still think, that the detail hubble provides makes it so much more magical. Mad respect. Keep it up
Trev! Wow. Well done my friend. So? Did ya process this in Ps or Pixinsight? Or both? Your final image kinda made me tear up a bit. I just love this hobby! Keep up the awesome work my friend. We're watchin.
It amazes me how technology has advanced since I first tried astronomy. Autoguiders, wi-fi connectivity, image stacking... it's incredible that an amateur astronomer today can take photos that rival those of professional observatories in years past.
You may not be a NASA PhD, but the tech details in this video and the realization of the experiment puts you on a very, very high pedestal given the budget you're working with. Hubble was in the range of billions of dollars shooting from space vacuum, your equipment has to fight Earth's atmosphere, light pollution, and whatnot. Great achievement!
Let's not forget that pretty much all space telescope images etc are artist's renditions because telescopes don't detect light in the visible spectrum. So most likely what you see is what you would not get, were you actually able to travel to a distant galaxy.
Pretty great images Trevor, when you consider that Hubble cost $16billion (adjusted for inflation to 2021), your experience and set up has shown amazing results.
NASA should let this guy use the Hubble or even the James Webb Space telescope for a week. What he can do with his telescope in his backyard is incredible.
I don’t know you from anybody… I don’t even know how to reference this thing but it I do know one thing I’ve always got a huge helping of scepticism and it has served me well for many years
Well it's certainly not a Hubble image with the level of detail that it has, but man you still did a fantastic job with what you have. Thank you for sharing Trevor, it's always a pleasure to see your work. I loved astronomy as kid, had a Walmart style telescope, saw typical Mars, Venus, Saturn, and some others. Always tried to take pictures but never knew enough to make anything meaningful. Today, they have really cool equipment out there but it's pricey but more importantly, I don't have that kind of time anymore. So I live vicariously through your TH-cam my friend!
I almost forgot to ask "Who's excited about the James Webb telescope"? The idea that the JWST could make the greatest discovery in all of human history is what keeps me up at night. The detection of life on another planet could happen.
I am envious, you should be proud. I am just now learning basic photography and so when I see brilliant people like you it gives me hope that I can learn and grow.
Okay, yes, the lack of data makes it a lot harder to replicate the Hubble view. But I found the wider shot at 6:51 jaw-dropping. In fact, I prefer it to the original “fingers” view. Fabulous shot. Don’t worry about the hi mag one. You don’t need it.
The Hubble was 1.2 Billion to Develop, 300 million to get into orbit and has cost about 10 Billion in upkeep over the 31 years. Apart from the 7.5 feet of missing aperture there's probably wee difference in your budget. Stellar Shot good Sir!
a small telescope probably costing anywhere from $2k -$5k (I might be way off.. but you get the idea) vs $2b Space Telescope... like It won't be long before we have garden telescopes that surpass Hubble in many area's of space exploration (Probably do already TBF) That's an impressive photo, can see a large amount of the details the Hubble picture revealed to us, Very well done :)
I'm very impressed, this is very impressive. I have no criticism about what you did. If I may though, I noticed that, quite a few stars, behind the space dust that makes up the Pillars of Creation aren't visible, and this is where Hubble succeeds, and this is also where the James Webb telescope will change our understanding of space! I believe it has to do with the telescopes infrared detection capabilities... either way, I loved this video man. I want a telescope like this so bad hahah.
Ground based telescopes and spacr based are sort've deadlocked in a nice race of sorts for advancements in technology the last 30 years and there's no sign of stopping. It's nice we can still do some pretty cool stuff on the ground.
The nebula, in my opinion, are stars that simply blur when the spiral moves and we don't see clear points, but the brightness of Andromeda stars is very high, so we see their general glow. The same thing happens in the centers of all galaxies, at the birth of stars, where their concentration is off the scale
Your photo is much better than Hubble. If they knew that with way less money they would get this kind of quality, they’d save tons of cash. Congratulations!
I would never have believed it if I hadn't seen it here. I know almost nothing about astronomy (since moving from MA to CA I can't even find the North Star with a compass) But I grok photo resolution and rational limits of a planetary, tiny device. You have made yourself and your gear mfrs proud.
That's pretty freaking awesome Trevor, with the size of the equipment you have. When I first saw this picture I was amazed by it. Wanted picture to hang on my wall. To me it is an amazing image. Still you take some incredible photos. Can't wait to see more. Cheers from Michael P. Down Under 🇦🇺
It's a great idea to show the possibilities of modern astronomical technology. Which is available to everyone. A lot of work and not standard ideas for implementing your ideas. Thank you, we wish you creative astronomical unusual success.

Okay, yes, the lack of data makes it a lot harder to replicate the Hubble view. But I found the wider shot at 6:51 jaw-dropping. In fact, I prefer it to the original “fingers” view. Fabulous shot. Don’t worry about the hi mag one. You don’t need it.
I’m speechless. That was outstanding. I’m pretty sure you can’t consider yourself a amateur anymore.
The Hubble was 1.2 Billion to Develop, 300 million to get into orbit and has cost about 10 Billion in upkeep over the 31 years. Apart from the 7.5 feet of missing aperture there's probably wee difference in your budget. Stellar Shot good Sir!
Dude, your shots were amazing. Well done.
those pillars are around 9000 times larger than our solar system. So our solar system would be a tiny dot in that.
I will go with the hubble image.
its fascinating to see how it hasn't changed one bit lol
a small telescope probably costing anywhere from $2k -$5k (I might be way off.. but you get the idea) vs $2b Space Telescope... like It won't be long before we have garden telescopes that surpass Hubble in many area's of space exploration (Probably do already TBF) That's an impressive photo, can see a large amount of the details the Hubble picture revealed to us, Very well done :)
I'm very impressed, this is very impressive. I have no criticism about what you did. If I may though, I noticed that, quite a few stars, behind the space dust that makes up the Pillars of Creation aren't visible, and this is where Hubble succeeds, and this is also where the James Webb telescope will change our understanding of space! I believe it has to do with the telescopes infrared detection capabilities... either way, I loved this video man. I want a telescope like this so bad hahah.
I like how if you look closely at the eagle nebula, you can see the pillars. Love your videos!
Your certainly not a amateur , your competing with a multi billion pound telescope 👍 bloody Amazing 👍😛👍
Amazing! I bet your setup didn’t cost anywhere near the $1.5b price range of the Hubble either! Great job!
That is a staggeringly good image. Your work is incredible and has inspired me to take up this hobby 😀
Ground based telescopes and spacr based are sort've deadlocked in a nice race of sorts for advancements in technology the last 30 years and there's no sign of stopping. It's nice we can still do some pretty cool stuff on the ground.
6 inch scope, really nice image!
The nebula, in my opinion, are stars that simply blur when the spiral moves and we don't see clear points, but the brightness of Andromeda stars is very high, so we see their general glow. The same thing happens in the centers of all galaxies, at the birth of stars, where their concentration is off the scale
TAKE A MOMENT to realise that the universe is mind blowing. I can understand why some people get lost by staring into the stars.
Your photo is much better than Hubble. If they knew that with way less money they would get this kind of quality, they’d save tons of cash. Congratulations!
Anyone else seeing this after the James Webb version was released? Can't wait for astrophotography gear to become that in 30 years haha
I would never have believed it if I hadn't seen it here. I know almost nothing about astronomy (since moving from MA to CA I can't even find the North Star with a compass) But I grok photo resolution and rational limits of a planetary, tiny device. You have made yourself and your gear mfrs proud.
That's pretty freaking awesome Trevor, with the size of the equipment you have. When I first saw this picture I was amazed by it. Wanted picture to hang on my wall. To me it is an amazing image. Still you take some incredible photos. Can't wait to see more. Cheers from Michael P. Down Under 🇦🇺
You did great mate
Hats off Trevor, wonderful shot !
Incredible man, Salute for your commitment.
This is crazy, makes me think what kind of images will Giant James Webb telescope capture
It's a great idea to show the possibilities of modern astronomical technology. Which is available to everyone. A lot of work and not standard ideas for implementing your ideas. Thank you, we wish you creative astronomical unusual success.
Brooo you're sooooo amazing at this!!!
