The S-II view of M8 and environs

It's a bit of a given that Ha enhances contrast in nebulosity images but I was really taken by the S-II view of the Lagoon I took last night. I thought I might share it with you.
It's the usual optics - EdgeHD14" at F11, OAG, ATIK11002M (yep class 2 sensor so please ignore the column defect for the time being) Bin x 2 and 50mins of 10min subs.
cheers

It's amazing how much "stuff" is floating around there!

Yes it is. Just for comparison, here's the Ha version of the same area.
