Photo description / processing

While there is fog outside and no sky, I once again reworked old material - the most beautiful area of the sky accessible in the northern hemisphere - M8 and M20 in Sagittarius, taken on 08.18.2017 in the North Caucasus (SKAS KFU) with SW66D+WO0.85III, Canon 350D, SW Star Adventurer, autoguide SW 8x50+QHY6. 10x5 min, ISO800. Now the colors are photometrically calibrated. Processing in Siril, StarNet++.
