Description

M8 Revisited,

Second attempt to photography M8 (in north Canada it's very low and night summer time is soo short)

This time, the sky was a bit foggy I was expected to do this target (+-2h time) before Helix nebula

(but we were attacked at 0 o'clock by intense fog)

Guiding is not bad for this low target

The data is taken with my cooled modded T3i @-30 Celsius on AT6RC+AP CCDT67

10x240sec colour

11x240sec Ha

I see that the M8 images were not as at maximum, fog makes the images harder to process

A version colour only

B version harder 30-40% Ha

C version low noise soft 20-30% Ha (favourite)
