Description

The Lagoon followed the same path as the Trifid with only one key difference: It wouldn't fit in the preferred orientation of the camera+fw. Rotating would have meant risking a slow creeping rotation (happened before) as well as a different set of flats, which could not be had as I already taken other exposures ( a couple hours worth) before tackling M8. So no joy there. I was stuck and had to suck it up. So this one is definitely up for a remake but only the God of the Night Sky knows when. I tried again in 2007 but couldn't make it happen.
