Description

My second mono image with the ASI2600. I am really liking this camera! I need to get a SII and RGB filters, would love to try some broadband and SHO imaging.

M8 is a beautiful target, the depth and wispiness appeal to me.

The Lagoon Nebula is a giant interstellar cloud in the constellation Sagittarius. It is classified as an emission nebula and as an H II region. The Lagoon Nebula was discovered by Giovanni Hodierna before 1654 and is one of only two star-forming nebulae faintly visible to the eye from mid-northern latitudes.
