Smile M8,M20, IC 1274-1275-4685, NGC 6559 wide field

This is an area I have spent the last couple of clear nights imaging to attempt to cover more objects in the same area to add some perspective to the images.

M8 area has a few items which are imaged quite a bit like M8 Lagoon Nebula and M20 Trifid Nebula. In this case I have moved over to the side of M8 to image some of the smaller nebulous areas here.

The wide field areas were imaged with Takahashi FSQ106 ED at native F5 with a QHY8 OSC CCD while the larger images were imaged with the same rig with the Tak 1.6X extender fitted to the focuser.

Hi Res Images Large files around 2 MB.

Hope you enjoy.
