Description

I imaged this away from home about 400 miles away in the town of Prineville Oregon. Tomorrow I will be going to their star party at the darkest sky's in the U.S.A. This was imaged just 2 miles outside the city limits. The OSP is about 45 miles from where I imaged M8.

If you look closely into the central part of M8 you can also see The Hour Glass Nebula as well near the white bubble. The hour glass is small but can definitely be seen.

This is from a stack of 4 70 second unguided images.
