Hi, Scott.

A refreshing approach. By letting the hourglass region burn out, you've produced a much more three-dimensional result, showing what I guess to be the true nature of the Lagoon: a huge cavity filled with blue OIII radiation, surrounded by walls of hydrogen, and with the hourglass being the super-bright source. That's worth doing.

I notice you've also fixed the "two of every star" problem that the H-alpha from a month or so ago showed.

Cheers,
Mike

Thanks Mike. I will admit, that effect was not intentional. But thanks for the positive comments.
