Description

Lagoon Nebula M8, is captured with my EAA setup: Skywatcher ED150DX reduced, using an ASI294MC (NonCooled) camera, on my CGX mount. I moved away from traditional imaging some time ago and have reconfigured to support EAA. This image consists of 12 x30s frames (aka Subs) taken with Sharpcap 3.2. Sharpcap aligned and live stacked the image. There is some slight tweaking of the historgram in this image.

It is not intended to be an alternative to long sub traditional imaging, with deep data acquisition; so don't go comparing it with deep integration images. EAA is an alternative approach.

Captured in my backyard observatory in NSW Australia
