Description

Version B uses the iPod's auto enhance routine.

A LRGB image of M8 as well as the much fainter nebulae nearby. I imaged the IC objects last year from a suburban site and wasn't really happy how it turned out. This image was wider field to also include M8 which makes imaging a bit more difficult due to the HDR. L 20x250s, GB 4x250s, and only a single(!) R at 250s as the rest of the subs were no good. I used my new ES ED80 refractor and I've found that it has some issues with CA. I used a Baader Fringe Killer in place of my normal lum filter which has helped.
