Description

HaRGB 1x1 binned, 5x150s RGB, 5x300s Ha. Canon L 135mm lens at f/2. I tried not to blow out the center of M8, which is quite easy to do. I tried to retain as much detail as possible around the center. There are certainly some very nice recent imagery of this area by others and I see that I don't have nearly enough blue around the Trifid and in other areas.
