Not ideal viewing conditions as increasing cloud limited the amount of frames obtained. It seems that the focussing had slipped a little on the 3rd set of captures as well.

The Lagoon Nebula (catalogued as Messier 8 or M8) is a giant interstellar cloud in the constellation Sagittarius.
The Lagoon Nebula, so called because of the dark gap (the lagoon) dividing the nebula in two, is estimated to be between 4,000–6,000 light-years away from the Earth. The Lagoon nebula is big, its size is approximately 110 by 50 light years; in other words, if the nebula started at Earth it would reach to the star Alkaid, which is the last star in the handle of the big Dipper. There is a lot to see in the Lagoon; the nebula contains several dark patches, known as Bok globules (dark nebulae or clouds of dark cosmic dust from which stars may form); there is an open star cluster (NGC6530) to the left of the ‘lagoon’; the Lagoon Nebula also contains at its centre a structure known as the Hourglass Nebula, which is just visible in this image in the bright centre just to the right of the ‘lagoon’.
If during the day you haven’t found time to do things your heart truly speaks to, no one is to be blamed, except you.

This another narrowband image of the beautiful Rosette Nebula in Monoceros. This time with a synthetic green component created from a blend of the Ha data and double ionized Oxygen data (OIII).
The Ha was mapped to red, synthetic green to green and OIII mapped as the blue component.
Imaging details are as before with a focal reduced Skywatcher ED80 refractor and a ZWO1600MM cooled camera fitted wih Baader narrowband filters.

Skywatcher 254mm Newtonian Reflector, Olympus E410 at prime focus. EQ6 Syntrek Mount.
24 suitable light frames of 40s at 800 ISO. Also 10 dark frames.
Processed with Deep Sky Stacker and final levels adjusted with G.I.M.P.
An open star cluster located in the constellation of Perseus.
The image has been slightly cropped but still displays coma towards the edges. This is is one drawback of a parabolic f/4.8 Newtonian.

Having acquired a second hand Skywatcher 200P Newtonian and an EQ5 Pro, I thought I should try it out with a simple shot like this. Having discovered that Skywatcher T rings are larger than my Meade T ring (I really had assumed they were all the same) I await a new one. In the meantime I just held the camera up to the eyepiece aperture to take this.
