Hi all,
Here is a reprocessed image of the M8-M20 region through a wider angle perpective. Lost image details but am aware that it is taken using Konica Centuria 400 print film.

Other images can be found here:

image seems a little too blu-ish, would be good if the red is more distinct

Blu-ish? Look fine to me. Must be my eyesight....gone liao

Remus,
Very nice super wide field image of M8/M20!

You have managed to capture the nebula (don't know the name) above M8 in your photos. I have been trying to capture this nebula but was a tad too faint.

If you are still using film camera to take your images, maybe you can keep an eye for Fujifilm Natura 1600 or Fuji NPZ 800. They are not widely available but seems to have a very, very fine grain. Don't know about their dinamic range though.

Regards,
CK

Hi,

I think that is NGC 6559.

Anyway, great shot. Any info on the shot??? Eg. What lens you used??

Have a nice day.
