M8 - Lagoon Nebulaby ~DoomWillFindYou

Photography / Animals, Plants & Nature / Weather and Sky

The Lagoon Nebula is one of the largest star forming regions in our part of the Milky Way. It spans around 150 light years across and lies about 5,500 light years from us in the direction of the constellation Sagittarius on the next spiral arm inward from our own. Under dark skies, M8 appears as a faint smudge on the Milky Way but through a large telescope the nebula shows intricate detail in the densest regions.

Takahashi NJP Temma II, Takahashi TSA-102 at f/6, FLI ML8300. 225 minutes total exposure.

Darn! you don't have a higher resolution for this? You're pictures take my breath away! Keep these Astrophotos coming! They make me the happiest girl alive!

Here's the highest res version I have online: 1600x1200. The original file is 3296x2472 (8 megapixels), but I usually keep the highest res versions of my images offline and use them only for printing.

Wonderful shot... What is the exposure time of a single frame?

~DoomWillFindYou Jun 7, 2010

I took 9 x 15 minute frames for Luminance (IR blocked clear filter used for detail) and 3 x 10 minute frames each through Red, Blue and Green filters for the color data. All of the images were aligned and combined in MaxIm DL 4.6 and the color was combined with the Luminance data in Photoshop CS2.

Nice... Must be very clear sky in that area...
I asked you because I am beginner in astrophotography, and thank you for your answer.
Regards,
Rade
