M8-Lagoon Nebula - 20130805


This image of M8, the Lagoon Nebula in the constellation of Sagittarius was taken at Fort Griffin, Texas the night of August 5 & 6, 2013.  The image was captured using an Orion Star Shoot Deep Space Color Imager (DSSI I) II on a Ceslestron C6N.  The image is made up of 12 five minute frames combined.  Preprocessing was done in Nebulosity 3 and post processing in Photoshop CS5.  The mount used was a Celestron CI-700.  Guiding was done with PHD software using a Meade DSI Pro on a 80mm f7 refractor piggybacked on the C6N.
