From the album: Deep Sky Imaging
The Lagoon Nebula (Messier 8, M8 or NGC 6523) is a emission nebula in the constellation Sagittarius, and is estimated to be between 4,000-6,000 light-years from the Earth. This image was taken with a full spectrum modded DSLR through a 80mm refractor for a total exposure time of 1002 minutes through SII, HAlpha and OIII filters.© Mariusz Goralski

From the album: Alt-Az / NoEQ DSO challenge
The Laguna Nebula (M8) First attempt at it, trying to take advantage of my last days on a very dark site; Unfortunately failed to counteract too much wind, so it totaly lacks precision. Gear: Olympus E-PL6 with Skywatcher 130PDS 632mm/4.86 and SWCC at f/4.5 on Celestron Nexstar SLT tracking Alt-Az. Capture: 14 lights (/ 31% keep) x 30s x 3200iso, 23 darks Processing: Regim 3.4, Fotoxx 12.01+ Site: deep country 26km from Limoges, France Sky: good seing, SQM=21.4© Fabien COUTANT

From the album: HEQ5/SW 80ED
I started with these objects almost a year ago. Experience and more equipment make quite a difference. -
From the album: HEQ5/SW 80ED
M8 was my first ever DSO and I am thrilled with the difference a year of practice (and better equipment) can make. 53 subs @ ISO3200. -

The Lagoon Nebula ( Messier 8, NGC 6523 ) in the constellation Sagittarius - by Mike O'Day ( https://500px.com/mikeoday ) The Laboon Nebula ( M8 ) is visible to the naked eye under dark skies from most latitudes except the far north. Seemingly covering an area about three times that of the full Moon, M8 actually covers an area somewhat greater than 110 light years and is around 4300 light years from Earth in the Sagittarius-Carina spiral arm of the Milkyway galaxy.

Hello Astro people... I'm slowly I'm getting through my captured data from April, June & July as time permits. Now it was the turn to process my Lagoon data... This one is the Lagoon Nebula in natural color.... It's only about 2 hours worth of 2, 3 & 7.5 minute subs at ISO1600 using my Canon 40D. I usually imaged at ISO800, but with is one, and the other two on the same night, I decided to give ISO1600 a go to see whether there will be more noise when comparing to ISO800... The result is that there isn't, it looks every bit as clean as my ISO800 exposures,

Hello Astronomers, As I'm still slowly processing my remaining data captured earlier this year, now I'm sharing with you my image of the Lagoon Nebula exposed in narrowband Hubble palette. To me, the shape of M8 in narrowband resembles the map of Australia... This image was also in the group of captures in exposing the Prawn, Lagoon and Swan nebulae on the night of 5/6 July in OSC natural color. As with the Prawn and Swan nebulae, I decided to spend a few nights capturing SII, HAlpha and OIII data of M8 also, spending 1/3rd of the night imaging time on each of the objects, this

Mesier 8 - the Lagoon Nebula - is an interstellar cloud around 4100 light years away in the constellation Sagittarius. This is HaLRGB data from Deep Sky West in New Mexico. Data were captured between April and June 2017. Luminance: 23x600s Red: 12x600s Green: 21x600s Blue: 15x600s Ha 5nm: 21x900s

Finally after puzzle solving with my adapter for Evostar I've managed to take first light on my new QHY camera. I have to say I'm impressed, after having some good experiences with Sony A7S this is what I was looking for .:) Scope: Skywatcher EVOSTAR 80ED DS-Pro Mount: HEQ5Pro Camera: QHY168C Filter Optolong L-PRO MAX Luminosity Guiding camera: ZWO ASI120MM Guiding scope: Panagor 400mm 21x200s exposure at -10°C binning 1x1

Hi all, To date I had been satisfied taking single shots with a DSLR and quickly seeing features of nebulae and fainter stars or moons of planets that I could not see at the eyepiece. Now I wanted to see what I could manage with further processing on a computer, so I took some pictures of M8 with a Canon EOS 700D on a NexStar SLT102 altazimuth refractor. I took about 20 30 second exposures at ISO 1600 and managed to get 6 with reasonably round stars. I then used Siril (because I have Linux on my computer and could not get DSS to run using Wine) to stack these after some issues. Siril appe

Slowly working through my summer crop of data - here's my latest: Please click through on the image for a higher res version. 13x 300s (3 at ISO1600, 9 at ISO800), darks, flats and bias, kit as per sig, DSLR at prime focus, Pixinsight. Conditions weren't ideal hence I only got 13 subs - there were a few scattered fluffy clouds around, though it was clear in between so obvious which subs were affected, and due to time of year and position of an annoying hillside it was setting fairly early for me. Still, as a target it's so bright I don't think it suffered much from lack of data - actually I

I currently am on holiday in my father's hometown, a small island near rhodes called symi.Symj, is a pretty small town,with only about 2000 residents.That means that the light pollution levels must be low. Acknowledging that, i called my friends, grabbed my 10x50 bins(that i got for 20€ from Turkey),and went on my way to find a dark site.About after 20 mins of walking (from the city),i stumbled upon a beach, it was dark, so i went in.There i decided to lay on a sunbed that was there.After looking up(not being dark adapted, my friends just kept turning their flashlights on for some reason), i s

Hi all, This is my first post in this forum. I just received a HyperStar for my C14. Weather has natrually not cooperated, but I did manage to get out to take these shots last week. 80 x 20 second subs using a modified Canon T2i 16 flats 16 darks 16 dark flats 16 bias Stacked with ImagesPlus and final tweaking in Photoshop. I still need to work on the collimation for the Hyperstar. I also need to get my polar alignment nailed down so I can increase the exposure times. So far, I really like this f2 imaging! Hope you enjoy the photos. As always, comments and criticisms welcomed. Cheers Tim

Ladies and Gents, may I present.. the Lagoon Nebula Lagoon Nebula (M8) by glowingturnip, on Flickr 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. The Lagoon Nebula is estimated to be between 4,000-6,000 light years from the Earth and has 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 ultrav

Evening SGL, though i would share my first astro mosaic. Taking on this little project was a spur of the moment decision, i made no plans for it until i imaged M8+M20 and thought "hmmmm, a galactic centre mosaic would look pretty tasty!". I then planned to create a 3x5 mosaic of the area totaling in 15 panels. But like i said, without planning it out properly i was left with the Milky Way dropping too low in my sky for me to get anywhere near what i wanted. So i only managed 4 panels... Each panel was around 70-80 minutes exposure time except one which i lost a lot of frames on because of clou
