Description

Two of the most well known nebulae, M8 and M20 are found in Sagittarius, toward the centre of our Milky Way galaxy.  Due to the beautiful reds and blues, these are normally presented in RGB colour, however I wanted to try something different and process it in the SHO Hubble Palette. 

Images were taken in one night in at the Astronomical Society of Victoria's star party. 

Total imaging time for this project was 4.2hrs. 

Registering, stacking and mosaic done using Astro Pixel Processor.
Processed, combined and edited using PixInsight.
