M8 Lagoon Nebula

[carlstronomy (Carl)]

Hello everyone,

A couple of nights of fair seeing here in Brisbane has allowed me to take 4 hours of data on M8 last night. This is the first time I have been able to do more than 1.5 hours due to battery life on my 450D. Pretty happy for my first log exposure image not sure on the processing.
Any advice is always welcome, hope you like.

Looking good, Carl. You've got some nice detail there. I'm sure there's a lot you can push out with curves and sharpening - looks like you are getting a good S/N ratio for a DSLR.

Nice image, Carl
