The Lagoon Nebula.
I was only able to take 4 of the 5 minute exposures before the object set. These images were taken when the object was between 20 and 5 degres above the horizon (usually a no go zone for astro photographers) due to atmospheric lensing and turbulence.
Amazingly the Losmandy GM8 was behaving. Autoguiding was performed using a QuickCam Pro 4000 running through GuideDog.
