M8/M20 Remote image from Europe

Hello everybody,

I'm an astrophotographer from the Netherlands and love to look here at the imagery of the Southern Hemisphere. It's really totally different from what we can see from here Recently I got the opportunity to do some remote imaging from Siding Springs Observatory and I took this to look at objects that are just impossible from my location.

As a starter I went for a mosaic of M8/M20, a region I really love. This imagery was taken with a Tak FSQ106 with Sbig STL11000 one shot color camera. About 5 hours of exposures of 15 minutes were taken. I have never seen so many stars in one image from here

Thanks for watching. The full resolution can be found here.
