This is an incredible area of the sky. M8 - that bright nebula in the centre, with M20 just beside, and M17 at the top. The Great Sagittarius Star Cloud blazes across the vast ocean with millions of stars. Just a piece of it visible here.
Processing by The Nightfly and my thanks for his time and efforts. Pentax 6x7 e200 film f/5.6 55 minutes 200 lens.
I shot the RGB of this as an experiment back in 2010 and at my last star party a few weeks ago I was trying to pick a target that was easy so I decided to shoot the Ha of this area and add it back to my old RGB.
Here is the old shot www.flickr.com/photos/31986095@N05/4732455208/in/photostr...
I had to use some Ha I shot with my ED80 because the cores of M8 and M20 were burned out so I layered it back in before combining with my RGB.
This wider FOV shows the "cosmic footprint in the sand" with M8 at the heel.
I was also very stoked to have the famous Scott Rosen drop by our humble little astro clubs dark sky site this night.
Was great to put a face and voice with the person I knew only from the forums before.
I dont think anyone got a word in since we were so busy talking shop :)
21 10min Ha subs at ISO 1600 and 6 8min RGB subs at ISO 800 stacked in DSS then adjusted in PS CS2. Canon 500D(modded) , Orion Atlas mount and the lens was the Nikon 180ED @ f/2.8 and a 7x40mm finder as a guide scope.
Another rendition of the Lagoon. I have taken this with a much wider field of view before.
The Lagoon Nebula (catalogued as Messier 8 or M8, NGC 6523, Sharpless 25, RCW 146, and Gum 72) 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. Seen with binoculars, it appears as a distinct cloud-like patch with a definite core. Within the nebula is the open cluster NGC 6530.

Bolex M8 8mm movie Projector made in the 1950's.
Photographed with a Graflex Crown Graphic 4x5 camera with Graflex Optar f/4.7 135mm lens. The film is CatLABS X Film 80 developed in Rodinal 1:50.
Yes, I've got another toy! I never rated the M8 on its release, didn't like the sensor size and all the IR issues. However many folk said that it does a good job with B&W and IR images. A friend of mine was selling his M8.2 so I raided the building society.
There is no compositional merit in these photos but I do like the camera's potential.
This is the result using 720nm filter and letting the M8 meter, I've lightened it and increased contrast a bit and sent it B&W.

I chose to model the M8 without any wheel-well skirts. For justification, I have a picture of several thousand vehicles gathered together after the war, in which there are several hundred M8's. For every one with side skirts, there are five without.
C&C appreciated, especially ideas on how to make the drivers' hatches.
One of my older builds with a few upgrades made recently. Probably my favorite vehicle I have in my collection. Thanks for looking!
This image has three Messier Objects; M 8, M20, and M 21.
M8 is the emissions nebula on the right side of the photograph. It is also known as the Lagoon Nebula. Actually M8 is the small cluster of stars inside the emissions nebula. The star cluster was discovered by Flamsteed in 1680 and the emissions nebula by LeGentil in 1749. Both are approximately 4310 light years from earth and are located in the constellation Sagittarius.
M20, also called the Trifid Nebula, is the emissions nebula on the left side of the photograph. It was discovered by Messier in 1764. It is 2660 light years from earth and located in the constellation Sagittarius.
M21 is the open star cluster below and slightly to the left of M20. It has no name. It was discovered by Messier in 1764 and is about 3930 light years from earth and is also in the constellation of Sagittarius.
The photograph was made on the night of 1 July 2014 in Marathon Greece using a Canon Rebel XS unmodified DSLR, an Orion ST 80A telescope (f/5 80mm refractor), a Skywatcher SynScan AZ goto mount, and an Astronomik CLS light pollution reduction filter. Total integrated exposure time was 28 minutes (56x30seconds).
