Description

In spite of thin high clouds I challenged this attractive southern gem of a nebula.

Unlike my previous image of M8 this one is dominated by running background noise although taken right after M8 with the same setup. Perhaps a heated up image sensor or a meridian flip :-)

Please forgive me for uploading. Clouds stopped the session after 80 frames. I will try and provide a better production in a revision, weather permitting.
