Description

Working with my Celestron RASA 8 over two nights (July 9 and 13), I shot M8 in Ha and OIII to produce this HOO image. For the first time, I used Astronomik MaxFR 6nm filters, which proved to be quite good and cutting through both moonlight and light pollution. 

This image is a combination of 48 120s exposures in Ha and 70 120s exposures in OIII for a total of just over four hours.
