Swampy M8 from the doghouse

[h0ughy]

well this was my first M8 ever from the doghouse, conditons were cool but we had cloud and bushfire smoke about. i lost quite a few frames to cloud, but anyway here is a ISO800 1h52 minute worth of the swamp with a cooled and modded Canon40D. stacked in DSS and processed in Pixinsight1.6

Very nice, not overly pink good detail in the boks etc

[h0ughy]

thanks - I tried to balance the colours to keep everything and still show the star clolours

Bit on the blue side but very nice details. :thumbsup: I personally think there aren't enough images of M8 on these forums. ;) ... but hey, that's me. :P

Nicely done Dave. I like the image scale.

Very nice star field. The colour of the stars seem independant of the nebula which means good colour separation across the image. Its got a good balanced look with good detail. Nice :)

Another great shot - lots of good astrophotographists in IIS! :)

[h0ughy]

blue! well you may be right. Swamps are an important part of the eco system arent they? ;)

thanks Peter

Glad you like it (Marc doesnt like the colour, but dont tell him i told you) ;)

Glad you enjoyed it Vanda:thumbsup:

Thanks Chris, though i think the tide is out - the lagoon looks a little dry

[alan meehan]

Nice image David good colour and detail:thumbsup:

Blue? Nah... it should be green. That's what I meant. Anything in a swamp has to be green :P .... croaking is a plus.

David,

That's gorgeous. Tight guiding, focus and detail.

Is that taken with the ED127?
