M8 The Lagoon Nebula

I captured frames for the Lagoon Nebula on 6/5/22. I decided to combine this new data with some older frames I had stored.

The is a combination of 3 different cameras on 2 different telescopes taken from 2016 until now....

 

6/5/22, 6/21/20

Camera-QHY163M

Scope-11" Celestron HD w/Hyperstar

HA- 20X120 seconds

LUM-40x30 sec, LUM-50x30 sec

 

6/5/22, 6/21/20

Camera-QHY128C

Scope-Astrotech AT65EDQ

LUM-8X600 sec, 8X300sec

 

5/31/16

Camera-QHY23M

Scope-11" Celestron HD w/Hyperstar

LUM- 20X120 seconds

BLUE-10x120 sec

GREEN-10x120 sec

 

4h 45m total exposure.

110 LUM Frames- 1h 25m @ F/2

16 RGB Frames- 2h @ F/6.5

 

I combined all the LUM frames in Pixinsight. Most of the color data was from the QHY128 camera, with a sprinkle of Green & Blue from the QHY23 data

I would like to go back with data I acquire from the 8" Meade/QHY23M for the core....if I ever have clear skies again
