Is there anybody with ingame pictures of the Pillars of Creation?

I'm there, and there's not a pillar in sight. It's a run of the mill, blueish/black nebula. Not one of the unique ones.
You can go into the Galaxy map, and search for Eagle and see roughly what it looks like. Seeing it up close does give it more of a presense than you'd get in the Map though.

They will have been dispersed by the time this game is set.
Not only is the game set 1000 years in the future the pillars are 7000 ly away so there's 8000 years of decay to account for.
Also almost all astronomical pictures do not show just visible light, there are a melange of wavelengths far above and below the visible spectrum, if you could go and look they would appear completely different from the photographs.

I dont think its that realistic, guess its just less detailed 
take a look here in the second spoiler-tag, theres a screenshot of the eagle nebula

Yes, but you still could see them (well, not if they allready would be dispersed), they might not be that colorfull - propably more reddish, less green and blue colors but still clearly visible

I was smack bang right in the middle of it yesterday.
But since then I went downstream on one of the arms.There's a couple of unique ones which might interest you. There's the Barnard's Loop cluster with Horsehead nebula for instance.
Some of the planetary nebulae are reasonably well modelled.
You can check them yourself by going into galaxy map (in the right-side menu), go to the navigation tab and type what you're searching for in the field there. I think if you type Eagle, you'll go straight to it.

Thanks for the tips!

Pillars of creation have already gone apparently. More reputable journal here.

yeah, ive just read it aswell...
this means we just have to fly the opposite direction, away form the eagle nebula, serveral lightyears, to gain time, since we are flying faster than light, to actually see them now we still can..
I've just put up some pictures about recent exploration out there a few days ago. I wasn't particularly looking to reproduce any Hubble telescope pictures, so you won't find any here

I'm heading to the Pillars right after I'm done with the Annihilator.
Should be on my way in a couple of days, and I believe is like 17,000ly from the Annihilator to the Eagle....so, should be arriving in or around August 4th, probably earlier, depending on RL commitments.
