Chris,

I also spent a lot of time on that region recently.  I stacked 2 exposures of about 20 minutes each at f2.8 on LE400 here:

Your image looks great, but I wonder of some of the nebulosity has been clipped to get such dark dust areas.  I realize my top image is "over the top", but I kind of like it that way ;-)

Hi all -

Here's the next to the last shot I did on my CA trip.  I decided to image an
old favorite(s), the M8/M20 region.  Its a single 40 minute exposure on
Provia 400F +1 with the Traveler @ f/4.5.

I tweaked the hue a bit since M8 was going towards the orange side, P400F
tends to do this unlike E200 which goes blood red.  I know everyone sees
color differently, but what do you guys think...... in the ballpark......?

Comments welcome.

Enjoy!

Chris
