Photo description / processing

I plan on getting much more exposure time on this target but it is only verly low above the horizon in my location so I can only collect data from a lot of different nights. I put together this one at a fairly low amount of integration time because i was curious if i could make out the famous pillars of creation in my image - and Yey they are there actually!
