a few nights ago at Bon Echo PP I imaged the Lagoon Nebula for about 17 minutes. Bortle 2 skies - very dark. This is an integration of 41 frames . I am amazed at that small scope.
The Lagoon Nebula (Messier 8) is a massive, glowing star-forming cloud of gas and dust located 4,000 to 5,000 light-years away in the constellation Sagittarius. Spanning over 100 light-years, it glows a vibrant pink due to hydrogen gas energized by young, hot stars at its center

It's not all sports and action. Sometimes, you just let the camera do the work and in the morning you see what an additional 500 frames does to your image. M51 the Whirlpool galaxy is visible with binoculars but this image is 2800 frames stacked and processed. Enjoy. Share, just give credit.
Thanks for looking.
