Description

The famous Lagoon Nebula, Messier 8 in Sagittarius. I took the picture in May/June 2022 during my stay in Hakos with the deltagraph of the WAA Südsternwarte. Unfortunately, I collected not nearly enough data in the red channel at that time, but I think I was too tired to realize it ;-)

Unfortunately the deltagraph had a subterranean optical quality and without BlurXterminator by Russ Croman the data would have been absolutely useless!

So here is the version with the 2022 data. This year I will image M8 again, but this time with good optics ;-)

I hope you like it a little anyway!
