M8 Lagoon from A.S.I.G.N. Observatory
G'day folks,
I have had a very good night here in the observatory with a dark sky, a new light pollution filter and a cool 5 degrees celcius in the dome. Heres 44 minutes at ISO 800 on the Lagoon. Imaged with a Celestron Nexstar 11, focal reducer to F6.3. Guided manually with a ToUCam on a piggybacked ED80. Cheers, Baz.

Have I mentioned that this is the only real life instance I've seen where initials spell out a word?

Lots of detail in the extended nebula. Lovely work.

Lagoon Nebula
Hi Baz,
You are getting some great images from your difficult location. Nice to see the rewards for all your hard efforts. In Tassie, if it is not clouds it is smoke from the massive forestry industry regeneration burn off's - that ruin dark sky imaging!! Regards Shevill
