The M8 light armored car is a 6x6 armored car produced by the Ford Motor Company during World War II. It was used by the United States and British troops in Europe and the Far East until the end of the war. The vehicle was widely exported and as of 2006 still remains in service with some third world countries.

Description:
Low in the northern hemisphere summer sky is the large Lagoon Nebula in the constellation Sagittarius (The Archer). The Lagoon (also known as Messier 8 or M8) is a favourite target of amateur astronomers with modest telescopes. The red colour - which the human eye can't detect - is the telltale sign of ionized hydrogen gas clouds.
From Wikipedia:
"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 naked eye from mid-northern latitudes. Seen with binoculars, it appears as a distinct oval cloudlike patch with a definite core. In the foreground is the open cluster NGC 6530.
The Lagoon Nebula is estimated to be between 4,000-6,000 light-years from the Earth. In the sky of Earth, it spans 90' by 40', which translates to an actual dimension of 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."
Embedded in the nebula - and just to left of its centre in this view - is the bright star cluster NGC 6530. Several dark globules are quite readily visible as well.

The Lagoon Nebula, also known as Messier 8 or M8, is a stunning emission nebula located in the constellation Sagittarius approximately 4,100 light-years away from Earth. It is one of the most popular and easily recognizable nebulae in the night sky. It is visible to the naked eye under dark skies and a popular target for amateur astronomers and astrophotographers.
M8 resembles a lagoon or a large body of water and is a hotbed for star formation within its clouds of gas and dust. The nebula is illuminated by NGC 6530, a star cluster at the heart of the Lagoon Nebula, radiating its surrounding causing the gas to glow in vibrant hues of red, pink and blue.

Finally, some partially clear skies to image with - this Spring and Summer have been fairly cloudy. This is my first real, concentrated attempt at this gorgeous nebula.

Cloudy, miserable day so I started playing with my recent wide-field data. I played around in Star Tools for a while until I came up with something a little better than the last process, and then finished it up in LightRoom4 using curve adjustments and luminance enhancements. I think overall it looks a lot better than the last version. It does seem like it was brightened just a tad too much, I was trying to enhance the details on M8 but seemed to have washed out M20 a little bit. I did get rid of that yellow haze though, which I'm happy about.
Equipment used:
Lens: Canon EF 200mm f/2.8mm L II
Camera: Celestron NightScape CCD
Mount: Celestron CGEM-DX
Guiding: Celestron NexGuide, attached to my C8 tube at Cassegrain focus

Thanks for looking!
