Description

This wide field of the M8, M20 region was taken July 19 and 20, 2023, via i Telescope's Siding Springs Australia site.   It is south 32 degrees, and at 3700' elevation.   
This setup allows one to capture the NGC 6559 nebula, just towards the left of M8 .  188' x 188' FOV.  Nearly two hours integration: 
6 x 5 minutes with each of R, G, B Astrodon filters, and 4 x 3 minutes Lum.   A great field visually and imaging wise.
