Description

M8, M20 and M21 taken over a number nights in early June. I was determined to process this wonderful object without any additional Ha, and let the Luminance do the talking (so to speak). As such I haven't altered any colour balance (other an initial spectrographic colour calibration, some subtle High Dynamic Range Multiscale Transformation to bring out the core of M8 a little better and some saturation). I was really quite amazed at what I could get with the 100m scope in heavy light pollution. My ambitions have always been to travel to dark sites for LRGB projects but lately this just hasn't been possible.
