Messier 8, The Lagoon Nebula

Messier 8, The Lagoon Nebula

This is a reprocessed, cropped version of one of the first significant astrophotos I took back in June 2010. I've learned a lot since then, particularly about processing. I can do better. It needs a a lot more exposure time.

Enjoy,
'The difference between a Miracle and a Fact is exactly the difference between a mermaid and seal. It could not be expressed better.'

"I think that in the discussion of natural problems we ought to begin not with the scriptures, but with experiments, demonstrations, and observations".

- Galileo Galilei (1564-1642)

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else! "

- Dr. Donald Prothero
