Considering you are peering through a thick atmosphere with a “small” telescope, that is an amazing image Trevor. It shows how much astrophotography gear has advanced in just a few years. Well done! 👍🏻
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..

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.
Damn, dude! i didnt know that we "amateurs" could take pictures THAT good or close to the pillars whatsoever...that was amazing, thank you for opening my eyes to that and shame on you for probably making me buy a teleskope :D keep up your good work! im really impressed by what you do!
Yeah, Hubble beats your image, hands down, BUT, since the Hubble cost about 1 million times the price of your rig I'd give you two thumbs up, a dozen gold stars and amateur photographer of the year award!
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.
Came in expecting the thumbnail to be clickbait, but was def impressed! I googled and found that they are actually already destroyed - kinda weird to think about: "Based on the cloud’s position, the blast wave looked set to hit the pillars in 1000 years. Taking into account the 7000-year time lag for their light to reach the Earth, that means the pillars were actually destroyed 6000 years ago, Flagey says. We will not see their obliteration from Earth for another 1000 years, however. And when we do, they will be in tatters - Flagey says only a few patches of the pillars are dense enough to survive the blast. “All the other parts will crumble when the shock wave arrives,” he says." So, you're capturing a ghost.
The 2015 capture strongly suggests that the pillars live on! It shows new stars and they believe a supernova didn't happen. Something to do with their new infrared sensors!
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😄.
I've been following your work for quite a while and I can say It's unbelievable what you can do with such a small setup (comparing to the complexity of building, upgrading and operating HST). You are really talented. Thanks for sharing these amazing images of the night sky.
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.
Awesome job man!! - I always envy that Esprit 150, then I remember how heavy my Esprit 120 is to carry outside and the envy fades a bit :D I wish I could get more than a couple of hours on M16, I'd LOVE to shoot it someday! Clear skies :-)
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
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.
I can't believe I've only just found your channel Trevor and I absolutely love your content. By any chance, have you ever thought of publishing a coffee table book of your images? I think it would be amazing.
Your images are just stunning. Keep up the great work!!! And the fact you do this from your backyard it's amazing and your work is definitely some of the best I seen so a embarrassment shouldn't even be in your vocabulary.
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.
Nice, but I think there's miles of room for you to get way more geeky with this whole development and processing for those of us equally into this. Have you considered a second waaay more technical channel to sit alongside this? Wow love to hear more about your actual setup and execution of your collect. About your stacking and processing. All the deep and dirty tech please?
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.
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!
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!
I love / hate this channel. So much good information. So much just talking to talk and not saying anything. And the time waste. His reveal took 15 seconds. Its like he circles around the point and never gets there until the very bitter end.
I'm here thanks to TH-cam algorithm, and I actually had to check your other videos beforehand (to make sure that I've met a professional), because your preview made me think this is a clickbait. And that's my opinion on a quality :) Great job, Trevor!
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.
Awesome share Trevor. I just read somewhere on line that someone thinks the pillars may have been destroyed by a supernova shockwave in the vicinity. Though debated, if true, the guy theorizes we might see the destruction in about 1000 years. Good thing you are capturing those images NOW!
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 🇦🇺
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!
What you did, chroma subsampling, is the same what for instance the compression algorithm in the JPEG (JFIF) image format does (and many other image and video compression algorithms). Human vision is more sensitive to change in luminance than change in chrominance. So when an image is compressed with JPEG, the chrominance component is compressed to a lower resolution than the luminance component. When recombined, human vision has difficulty telling that the chrominance component is of much lower resolution than the luminance component, and the image is perceived to be of normal detail level. This is why you can see "chrominance leak" in heavily compressed JPEG images, i.e. color can leak or smudge over details in the image. The distinct "JPEG noise" you see in heavily compressed JPEG images comes from discrete cosine transform (DCT) method which is the more technical part on how JPEG compresses frequency information in the luminance and chrominance components.
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
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.
Wow, I am impressed with your skills and your equipment. What a super nice refractor that is. Thanks for posting everything you did to get that fantastic image of the best thing I have ever seen in astronomy photo books!!
I stumbled across ure video. And wow that's some amazing shots u took there, u don't have to hide, behind hubble, especially if u thing about the size of hubble, and that it is in space! And like I said, I was thinking about that picture some day ago, never thought about Google it to know more about it, thanks to u I know now it's in a nebula 7tly away.. Great content... Thank u sir.

Goes to show just how astonishing Hubble and now JWST actually are… I’d be proud of that image…
Amazing work! Thanks for sharing this.
amazing work, love your channel
Keep going man, I love your work
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 beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
This is just so amazing man! Keep up the good work!
Amazing. It’s great to see such beautiful image . Fantastic.
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!
WooW..!! Weldone Sir !! Awesome capture..!!
TOP 👍🏼 What is this 4 music on 7:50...?
Amazing.
What you did, chroma subsampling, is the same what for instance the compression algorithm in the JPEG (JFIF) image format does (and many other image and video compression algorithms).
Human vision is more sensitive to change in luminance than change in chrominance. So when an image is compressed with JPEG, the chrominance component is compressed to a lower resolution than the luminance component. When recombined, human vision has difficulty telling that the chrominance component is of much lower resolution than the luminance component, and the image is perceived to be of normal detail level. This is why you can see "chrominance leak" in heavily compressed JPEG images, i.e. color can leak or smudge over details in the image.
The distinct "JPEG noise" you see in heavily compressed JPEG images comes from discrete cosine transform (DCT) method which is the more technical part on how JPEG compresses frequency information in the luminance and chrominance components.
Wow amazing work the pillars of creation are one of my favorite Nebula
I think you nailed it Great work!
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
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.
Your image is fantastic!
whats interesting is the fact it looks exactly the same since it was first shot. puts into perspective just how short we are on this world for
Wow, I am impressed with your skills and your equipment. What a super nice refractor that is. Thanks for posting everything you did to get that fantastic image of the best thing I have ever seen in astronomy photo books!!
Just wonderful! Great work.
amazing what you can capture just outta your backyard. great work!
This is amazing man!! Think of how big of a resolution this would have been just a few dozen years ago!!! Incredible work!!!
Very inspiring. Excellent work! Kind regards from Germany!
I stumbled across ure video. And wow that's some amazing shots u took there, u don't have to hide, behind hubble, especially if u thing about the size of hubble, and that it is in space!
And like I said, I was thinking about that picture some day ago, never thought about Google it to know more about it, thanks to u I know now it's in a nebula 7tly away.. Great content... Thank u sir.
i-simply-cant-believe you've taken it from the surface thorough all such atmosphere...it's incredible dude. G-R-E-A-T job o--m--g !! welldone !!
...once i found A FEMALE RABBIT ON A NEBULA im not joking.....but with HUMAN EYES !! perfect ones !!....case is my inertial follower wasnt exact i lost it and couldnt focused it again : ( ....i have an idea about where it is located but sadly never found it again grrrrr....anyway never had such-an-equipment as well make a take.
Beautiful work!
Absolutely jaw-dropping. Great work.
Really really cool. You bring the technology down to earth and I really appreciate your work!
Dude, your shots were amazing. Well done.
i cant understand many terms !! but i can certainly say that u r doing a great job and hardwork
Great... I'm looking forward to new images from the James Webb Space Telescope. This will significantly outperform the Hubble images by far.
This was amazing! Subscribed.
This could be a series. Hubble vs Your Photos :)
That is a staggeringly good image. Your work is incredible and has inspired me to take up this hobby 😀
Gr88, when compared to the setup you hold against hubble. Its worth of a pic. Excellent bro. Keep up
Hats off Trevor, wonderful shot !
LOTS of Pro's call themselves "amateur" and lots of beginners call themselves Pro's! Great job, Trevor!
