Excellent detail Larry!
Those Ha filters sure do magic with nebulosity detail!

Thank you for sharing!

hi All,

Thanks for your comments. As Mark pointed out the image is noisy.

The image was taken with a Schuler 10 micron filter with five minute subs. I did process a bit hard to try and o the faint nebulosity arounf m8 while trying to keep some detail in the core which at best is a compromise.

Here's a download of the bright part of M8 with a bit more convential processing to show the details of the nebula. It is full size the previous image was reduced to 50%.



clear skies,
