Quick M8

[Hagar (Doug)]

Taken last night in the wee hours as I had a look at the M83 RGB data I had collected.

Image details for M8:

Scope: Takahashi FSQ 106ED at f5 (530mm)
Camera: QHY9 Mono with Baader LRGB filters
7 X 5 minute Luminance exposures
3 X 5 minute each RGB
Calibrated and combined in CCDStack

80minutes exposure in total.

Very nice. Little burnt around the core but I like it.

[Hagar (Doug)]

Thanks Marc. I was beginning to think something was dreadfully wrong with this one. I looked at it a few times and thought, not my best but still not too bad either.

Very nice for a quickie Doug.

[Ross G]

Smooth, subtle colours and so sharp.

Great shot Doug.

Thanks JJ maybe I will get some good data on M20 and M8 when it gets a bit higher in the sky at a respectable hour.

Thanks Ross. Always an interesting target. It encompasses all the chalenges of Deep Sky imaging.

I like it Doug. Nicely framed at that FL.

Thanks Chris.

One of my favs, and a great rendition for a "stopover". Colours seem nice and natural too.

Nice Doug.

[tlgerdes (Trevor)]

People must think we come from Jupiter or something, 80mins is a quick image

Nice though Doug.

[Paul Haese]

Nice work Doug. Good field of view too.

Thanks for the kind comments everyone. I now have my new 120 fitted up on the mount so this and a few other images will have to wait for a while to be finished with the FSQ although I might shoot some frames with the 120 and use good old Registar to combine with this.
Thanks again.
