Description

Imaged this wide angle of the M8 M20 region over many nights in July of 2022.   Imaged remotely from i Telescope's New South Wales site, which is south 31 degrees.  Integration 90 minutes, 30 * 3 minutes each with a red filter.   Can see how lengthening the total time of exposure created better results. Long a favorite field of mine, it is interesting that on the first day of winter the sun is between these two objects.  Seemed to do better with many short exposures in this case.  Processed mostly with Pixinsight.    Tom Schmidtkunz
