M8 area in Ha

Here’s a crop 1:1 of M8 in Ha I did the same night as M16. Full frame is at: http://www.multiweb.com.au/astro/M8_Ha_20090703_f.jpg [3MB]
14x10min for the core and inner area + 6x900s for the outer neb in the wider field.
QHY8 Gain 1 Offset 60. Baader Ha 7nm. Celestron Nexstar 130SLT – Guided with PHD/ED80 on G11 – Captured with Neb2.
Got some color data too which I need to process as I’d like to blend it in with this Ha channel later on.
Was taken Last wednesday and I reckon I might get a bit of gradient from moon glow so we'll see. Until then I'm happy with this Ha version. Hope you like it too.
