Something a little different this time. What you’re looking at is a 9-panel mosaic of M8, an emission nebula in the Sagittarius constellation, around 4000 light years from earth.
The images were shot through a single filter (Hydrogen Alpha), aiming to pull out as much detail as possible and give it a bit of a fine art appearance (to the extent that’s even possible with astro images).

Also known as the Lagoon nebula, this is a large hydrogen emission nebula in the constellation Sagittarius. The red color is light emitted by hydrogen atoms excited by intense starlight. It is a region of active star formation, as can be seen by the cluster of bright stars near the center. It is also relatively close to earth, about 4000 LY, so appears large in the sky, about 3x the size of the moon.

This a long lost memory of what makes the summer months so much better than the constant cold and rain. The picture says it all.
This video “MIX 8” is another selection of images, both graphic, design and Photographic. The idea is to show the range of styles and techniques from right across my wide range of styles. It is followed in my Photostream by individual images taken from the video, but shown as single images at full size. These will appear on my photostream spread over the following week.
There are more examples of these Mixes on my portfolio website :-
Messier 8 (M8), also known as the Lagoon Nebula, is a large, bright emission nebula located in the constellation Sagittarius. The star-forming nebula has an apparent magnitude of 6.0 and lies at a distance of 4,100 light years from Earth. It has the designation NGC 6523 in the New General Catalogue.
The Lagoon Nebula is currently undergoing a period of active star formation and has already formed a sizable cluster of stars. NGC 6530, the extremely young open cluster formed from the material of M8, has a visual magnitude of 4.6 and covers an area of 14 arc minutes in the sky. It is centred in the eastern part of the nebula.

The Lagoon Nebula is a giant interstellar cloud in the constellation Sagittarius. It is classified as an emission nebula and as an H II region. The Lagoon Nebula was discovered by Giovanni Hodierna before 1654 and is one of only two star-forming nebulae faintly visible to the eye from mid-northern latitudes. The nebula lies around 4,077 light years away.
While I love the Great Orion Nebula, I am growing more enamored with this particular nebula. Take a closer look at everything going on here - dust lanes, waves of hydrogen clouds and more. It's a gorgeous nebula!

RA: 271,039° Dec: -24,379°
M8 - The Lagoon Nebula (NGC 6523) is a giant H II region in the constellation Sagittarius at 4,000-6,000 light years. The nebula contains several Bok globules (dark, collapsing clouds of protostellar material), the most prominent of which have been catalogued as B88, B89 and B296.

J2000 RA: 18h 02m 23s Dec: −23° 01′ 48″
NGC 6514, also known as The Trifid Nebula, is an HII region in Sagittarius discovered by Charles Messier on June 5, 1764.
The object is a combination of an opened cluster of stars, emission nebula, reflection nebula and a dark nebula that divide into three lobes this object.

M8, Lagoon Nebula. Almost 35 hrs integration time. Sky-Watcher Esprit 120mm, QHY278M, Optolong 3nm NG, and RGB filters.
13hrs of Hydrogen data taken from downtown Bortle 9 Phoenix, Arizona. 13 hrs Sulphur split between Bortle 1 and Bortle 9, and 6 hrs Oxygen all Bortle 1, new moon. 1.5 hrs of RGB also at Bortle 1. I did some interesting combinations of the data to get this final image.
It lies about 5,000 light-years away, and spans 100 light-years, in the constellation Sagittarius.

Incredible lighting falls on the head end of Canadian Pacific's flagship passenger train at Field, BC, stopped for water and a crew change. This was shot on one of those amazing railfan trips that totaled over 8,000 miles in Sept of 1971. A segment of that trip became an article in the July 1972 issue of TRAINS by Mike Schafer, "CP's Elusive C-Liners", reprinted in the current CLASSIC TRAINS special "Trains of the 1970s".

The Lagoon Nebula (M8, NGC 6523) is a giant interstellar cloud in the constellation Sagittarius. It is classified as an emission nebula and as a H II region. In the foreground is the open star cluster NGC 6530.
The Lagoon Nebula is estimated to be between 4,000-6,000 light years from the Earth and measures 110 by 50 light years.
The nebula contains a number of Bok globules (dark, collapsing clouds of protostellar material). It also includes a funnel-like or tornado-like structure caused by a hot O-type star that emanates ultraviolet light, heating and ionizing gases on the surface of the nebula.
The Lagoon Nebula also contains at its centre a structure known as the Hourglass Nebula (the densest, brightest part). In 2006 the first four Herbig–Haro objects were detected within the Hourglass (a Herbig-Haro object is where jets emitted from a newly forming star interact with surrounding nebulosity).
This image was shot in mapped colour - Sulphur II emissions mapped to red, Hydrogen alpha to green and Oxygen III to blue - the so-called Hubble Palette.
Messier 8
5,200 Light years away in the constellation Sagittarius is the Lagoon Nebula M8 (NGC 6523).
This vast emission nebula is home to the open star cluster NGC6530. The open cluster contains thousands of stars, most of which are hidden by the interstellar gas & dust that make up this awesome nebula.
The image is made up from about 2 hours of data using the Chile 2 telescope at Slooh.com stacked & processed with PixInsight.
