NASA's October 19, 2022 NASA’s Webb Takes Star-Filled Portrait of Pillars of Creation shows a sparkly and beautiful infrared image of the Astronomical elephant trunks known as the Pillars of Creation.

The Wikipedia article doesn't seem to give any amateur observing-relevant information like angular size or visual magnitude, nor their actual physical size.

Question: How tall are the pillars of creation in angular and physical dimension? How bright are they?

I wonder if they can at least be spotted as a faint fuzzy spot in an amateur telescope?

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope made the Pillars of Creation famous with its first image in 1995, but revisited the scene in 2014 to reveal a sharper, wider view in visible light, shown above at left. A new, near-infrared-light view from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, at right, helps us peer through more of the dust in this star-forming region. The thick, dusty brown pillars are no longer as opaque and many more red stars that are still forming come into view. Credits: NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI; Joseph DePasquale (STScI), Anton M.

    The pillars of creation are dark clouds. They are visible because of the background being bright. – planetmaker Oct 20 '22 at 09:30

    They are quite large and bright compared to other objects amateurs might look at, I have photographed them a few times from my very light polluted (Bortle 8) back yard. I don't think I've ever tried to see them visually from a dark site. They are part of a larger nebula called the Eagle Nebula or M16. If you download a program like Stellarium, you can search for that and measure the size. – Greg Miller Oct 20 '22 at 13:30

    @planetmaker except where they aren't – uhoh Oct 20 '22 at 15:54

    @GregMiller Thanks! Then I will try to have a look some day with my 8x42 binoculars – uhoh Oct 20 '22 at 15:55
