NGC6530 and M8, the Lagoon Nebula
Was looking through the telescope with a HA filter on the eyepiece and I slewed to NGC6530 (the cluster of stars in the middle of the picture) and saw what appeared to be a dim nebula. I took out the camera and shot a few shots of it. Little did I know at the time it was NGC6530 but also the Lagoon Nebula. That was too funny when I realized what I was looking at because I had should have known I was in that neighborhood.
This shot took a long time for me to process and get right since I'm in a light polluted area and I don't have any filters for the camera yet. I'm pretty happy with the end result.
