M8 from 2006

Yes, this data is that old, but I continue to find that I can do more with it 4 years later.

It was taken with a Tak FS128 @f6 and the STL11K, consequently the edges of the FOV were pretty rough, so they have been cropped out.

I created a sythethic luminance here with the SII/Ha frames, which when stretched was quite amazing right down to the Hourglass nebula.

I have also uploaded this luminance frame so you can see what I mean.
