Well, I did it again. Personal best both in term of acquisition and processing so very happy with it. 1h in 2min subs with a GSO8" F/4 QHY9 and Baader 7nm.

1:1 full field here [3336x2496 - 2.7MB]

Processed in CCD Stack, Ivo's excellent Startools and PS.
Thanks for looking.

Thanks When M8 is up, one simply cannot let it pass by. It's un-australian. Well not full moon but pretty close. It was Monday night. Last night was nice and bright too.

You've outdone yourself. What fantastic resolution and detail around the core.

such a Lovecraftian title to an exquiste photo....

was just browsing his "color out of space" short story a hour ago, chimed right in.

Hi, Marc,

Superb! The hourglass and the eight or so brightest shock fronts are all razor sharp and very nicely processed. Love it.

Best,
M & T

[SimmoW (SIMON)]

That's nice'n deep & lovely! No shame in imaging this beauty, I can admire dozens of the versions I"m sure I'll see (and do, if the weather permits!)

Thanks. First run of clear skies we've had in Sydney for a long time so I made the most of it.

Thanks Peter. Don't know about the cool wall but best to date at that FL. Woohoo!

[RickS (Rick)]

Nice work, Marc. Very sharp. A classic, cool object in Ha mono.

[Rod771 (Rod)]

Nice Marc! Very sharp indeed!

[Andy01 (Andy)]

Nice to see all these beautiful mono nebs being posted right now- yours is a very good one too Marc, well done

Btw was the title a reference to the bane under Mt. Thunder in the Donaldson/Thomas Covenant book series?

Cheers

[Paul Haese]

Very nice detail Marc. Great star shapes and smooth processing. Looks good.

Nice, after seeing yours and PW's 6188 it seems the 7nm to handle the moonlight very well.
