Description

I agree not to everyone's taste - I have versions (to be added  as revisions) in more  standard hubble and HsOO pallettes

I managed to grab some data - a short sequence mainly because M8 only rises over the scope altitude limit of 25deg fro a few minutes a night and as a souhtern sky object needs precious new moon time for good acquisition

However the target is bright enough to dleiver reasonable quality  in a very short time
