M8, the "Lagoon nebula"




HST-palette from the emission of ionized elements, R=Sulfur, G=Hydrogen and B=Oxygen


Natural color composition from the emission of ionized elements, R=80%Hydrogen+20%Sulfur, G=100%Oxygen and B=85%Oxygen+15%Hydrogen to compensate otherwise missing H-beta emission.
This composition is very close to a visual spectrum.

M8, the "Lagoon nebula" in Constellation Sagittarius.
Image field is about 30' x 30', half a degrees.
A new project, from Northern galactic remote telescope in Australia.
The Lagoon nebula, M8, in ionized light from the Three elements, H-alpha, O-III and S-II.

100% crop from the image of M8

The telescope and technical information:


16" RCOS ja Apogee U9000 camera. 
LRGB combo.
H-alpha 4x1200s, Dark and Flat calibrated.
O-III x1200s, Dark calibrated 
O-III x1200s, Dark calibrated
Raw data is shared with Petri Kehusmaa and J-P Metsavainio


Processing workflow:
Image acquisition, MaxiDL v4.xxx
Stacked and calibrated in CCDStack.
Deconvolution with a CCDSharp, 30 iterations
Levels, curves and color combine in PS CS3.

Edit 05.06.2010

Here is a Starless version of M8, I like to do some tricks with the images and the results are experimental in nature. Actual nebula can be seen better here.

Viewing 3D





Finnish-Suomeksi
Nähdäksesi anaglyph 3D-kuviani tarvitset Puna-Sinilasit!
Ne ovat yleensä erittäin edullisia, 1-2€,  ja helposti ostettavissa onlinemyymälöistä.
Suomessa laseja voi ostaa ainakin täältä:
http://www.dealextreme.com/search.dx/search.3d%20glasses 
HUOM! 
Lasien linssien täytyy olla PUNAINEN ja SINININEN, jotta kuvat näkyisivät oikein.

English
To see my anaglyph Red/Cyan 3D-images, you'll need a right kind of 3D-eyeglasses!
They are usually very inexpensive and can be bought online easily.

Here are few links:
USAhttp://www.berezin.com/3D/3dglasses.htm

There is many online sellers for 3D-glasses, google them down to find a suitable seller in you area.



EDIT. Finnish only, sorry!

Huomasin juuri, että samassa Suomalaisessa verkkokaupassa, jossa myydään 3D-laseja, on myynnissä 9€ hintainen stereokuvien katselulaite:
http://www.elektroni.fi/?product=5452

Ko. laitteella voi katsella stereopari-paerikuvia 3D-muodossa!


Täältä voi tilata stereoparikuviani valokuvinahttp://astroanarchy.zenfolio.com/p272573124
Hinta 1,95€ kappale, vähän isompi koko, joka vielä toimii, 3,95
Katselulaitteen kanssa siis toimivat vain "parallel vision" tekniikalla katseltavat kuvat.
