One of the last astrophotography images I will post (for a while at least lol) This is Messier 8 or the Lagoon Nebula. The Lagoon Nebula was discovered by Giovanni Hodierna before 1654 and is one of only two star-forming nebulae faintly visible to the naked eye from mid-northern latitudes. Seen with binoculars, it appears as a distinct oval cloud-like patch with a definite core. A fragile star cluster appears superimposed on it. 750mm F/4.9 ISO 1600. 30 light frames at 180 seconds, 20 darks and 30 bias. Stacked with DSS and I admit I had a friend play with the post processing.
