M8 + Helix ED80

Hi All,
Many thanks for the comments, and HOUGHY yes I thought id get M8 before its too late, I cant image anything west of overhead due light pollution, I try and get all my objects as they rise in the east over the sea no light pollution there as yet, But yes M8 is a real photogenic subject, sort of next to Carina and M42. There is a large area of nebulosity a few degrees to the east of M8, but its quite faint, and if you go for it, it generally overexposes M8, but its a challenge, not long to go and M42 will rise by 10 PM.

cheers....Jim
