The C3 movie shows the milky way coming into the field. M8 is easily visible
and M20 is there as well I think. Identifying stars is a little tricky as there
is so much noise in the image. When it is paused, some of the brightest stars
are just artifacts.
This is certainly the latest in the year that I've "seen" the M8. Really worth
checking out. Oh and the comet's pretty cool too.

Forgive me if you are all bored with this by now, but I've been off line the
last couple days and am now just catching up.
If you go to the SOHO page, click on "the sun now", then "MPEG Videos", the C3
and C2 coronograph clips are so spectacular, they are beyond words. I've
watched them both several times and they are spectacular from their ion tails,
the lil-companion sungrazer that preceeds it in, even seeing the Lagoon Nebula
coming into the frame at left towards the end. Go to:
http://sohowww.nascom.nasa.gov/data/realtime/mpeg/
and go to the LASCO C3 first, then the C2, of coure at the highest
resolution...
