A new image has been uploaded: M 8

Hello!

A new image has been uploaded. It is the emission nebula Messier 8, or the Lagoon Nebula. This image has subframes taken during 2015 and 2016. It is a narrowband image, processed with much the same color palette used for NGC 3372, trying to reproduce the natural spectrum of the nebula.  The stars were blended from an RGB image.

M 8-NGC 6523 new

Enjoy!

  1. Eng: Hi Josep M., May I make a comment on your web site? The “Comments” use a too little letter size and its grey color does not stand out enough on the blue background. It would be great to improve this in order to be better read. Thanks.

    Cat: Hola Josep Maria, Oi que puc fer-te una petita consideració? ?? Al teu web-site, l’apartat de Comments té un tipus de lletra petit i en un color gris que destaca molt poc sobre el fons blau intens. Potser serà la meva visió, però crec que es podria millorar el contrast i seria més fàcil de llegir. Moltes gràcies. Una abraçada.
