Description

Here is my 2022 version of the wonderful M8 M20 deep-sky objects! Up is basically north (I think).  A new year, finally a few clear nights, and a new combination of equipment. How fun!

When I image these targets from my front yard observatory I must shoot due south into the Eugene city light-dome.  With the appropriate strategy, the filters make it manageable during the new moon cycle.
