Hi Fred,
I think Austin was just excited he found M8 and wanted to share his excitement with us.
I fondly remember myself being excited and staring for a good few hours at the 8x8 patch of pixels that was the Carina Nebula!
Widefield stuff like what Austin is doing is a great way to get to know the sky. I learned heaps from exactly the stuff Austin is doing.
Besides, excitement like this demonstrates a raw passion for astronomy that's here to stay. It's good to know you have this, before the aperture fever and software envy sets in...
I say good on him and I'm looking forward to more of his (no doubt much improved) images!
