M8 in Ha

The start of a project (that may take some time to complete!)

I managed to take 3 x 15min subs of M8 in Ha from my backyard the other night before the clouds rolled in.

I've been fiddling in PixInsight (Father's Day present!) and have subjected this to a Histogram stretch, HDR Wavelets and ACDNR. Certainly a steep learning curve for this software!

I am quite happy with this flattness of this image. I have fiddled with the focuser again on my Tak scope and the curvature map in CCD inspector is better.

Needs more data, but it's at least a start!

Comments welcome - still finding my way with Ha data...
