Description

Quick unguided HyperStar run at M8 Lagoon Nebula in Ha. Learning from previous longer exposures, I opted to go with 15 second shots to minimize star bloat. With a darker (my SQM showed 20.06) than usual (usually about mid-19's) sky in my Bortle 5 backyard the results were pretty satisfying. About a ten subs into the [OIII] run the clouds rolled in and ended my night. Can't wait to finish off this target. Until then...this will have to do.
