M 8 - Lagoon Nebula

[jsmoraes]

GSO 305 mm - Canon T3 - 8 x 4 min (32 min) - ISO 800 - OAG - Skyglow filter - Coma corrector 

I was doing some cluster and I asked me why don't try again a nebula.

M 8 was going to my limit of field from my observatory. Why not ? So, I did it again.

You must click on the photo to see it in large scale. I reduce it from 4k (full resolution of Canon 1100D) to 3k. There isn't any crop of field. I got success with my new adjustment of coma corrector and collimation to reduce the oval shape of stars. I am happy with it.

I liked because it has many details of nebula. My last try with it was in 2013:  http://jsmastronomy.30143.n7.nabble.com/M-8-NGC-6523-2013-td175.html#a471

I  publish a more large scale in Astrobin http://www.astrobin.com/212147/

Great image, major improvement over the 2013 version.

It was not the best image of M 8. It was on limit of my sight from my observatory. More frames would improve the quality of image.

That looks very nice indeed.

Great image-  I love the Lagoon, it's very bright but very low in the sky here in the UK
