Last night was just about as nice as Sunday night and I was out again, this time imaging M8, the Lagoon Nebula. I also took some flats that I was able to subtract out in Photoshop which helped keep the center from being blown out. This image is a composite of an hour and I’m thinking that I might try to do a long term Messier Marathon where I image all of the Messiers for an hour of 4 minute exposures to do a longer term version of my 2008 messier project.

That’s gorgeous Ed. When did you get a 10″ SCT?

Thanks – I got the 10″ in July. The weather’s been so bad, I haven’t been out much until lately.
