- Description: Bright nebula in Sagittarius. This is from my "first light" session
with the SBIG ST-8300C camera. This camera is also cooled electrically but has a colour
sensor instead of monochrome. A 13 year old camera but it works just fine! To the lower left of M8
is a small globular cluster, NGC6544.
