Lagoon (M8)

[CaptainCook (Gary)]

Here is the result from my mammoth () data collection on M8. Amazingly it took 3 nights -spread over 12 days- to get 2 hours of Ha (full moon), 2 hours of O3 (between clouds) and 30 mins of coloured stars (in gale force winds).
Info:
Askar103 700mm (1.0 flattener)
533MC & MM Pro
5 min subs for Ha/O3
30 s subs for OSC
AM5
Bortle 7

Cheers

Hi Gary, good use of lean pickings, I like the fiery red glow around the periphery

Very nicely done Gary, some really nice contrasts going on with the dark dust points and the highlights on them edges

Thanks lads!
Yeah, there's more to the Lagoon than I first thought. I just despair of this weather. You can all blame me as I upgraded my gear on the basis it couldn't get worse...
