I've been wanting to shoot this region for a number of years. So, now that I tried I decided to go for some exposure time. Again, my goal was to see if I could tease out any "new" nebulous objects that are not usually seen. The main one that jumped to my eye was the light blue halo surrounding and overlying M8 itself. I normally don't see this as I suspect it gets processed out. M8 looks bright in my image but that is on purpose, so to see this nebulous structure. Also, I left the HII regions hydrogen pink rather than darkening them so to see them better. I hope this is not too offensive to your eye.
