M8 Wide Field STL H-alpha test

Hi All,

Nothing like waiting until 2:00am to start imaging only to have clouds show up 45 minutes later. I had planned 10X900 second exposures but ended up with only three so the images has a bit of noise and less nebulosity than I hoped. Some of the noise though is Jpeg artifacts from the high compression used to bring the size of the image down to 250KB.

Jose,

This is a very lovely image in its resolution and FOV. Very dramatic! Thanks for sharing.

That is just plain stunning!

I was out on the weekend imaging the same thing and trying to get in before clouds also very early in the morning!
