NB Lagoon / M8

[codemonkey (Lee)]

Not sure I'm all that happy with this one yet, but here it is anyway. Had some pretty terrible seeing recently causing many subs to be discarded and some nights where I packed up without even doing any imaging. FWHM in the end was about 2.2 for S, 2.3 for H and 2.5 for O which isn't ideal when you're sampling at 0.5"/px ... I usually get closer to 1.8 for NB.

Interesting framing, not sure if it’s balanced but I really love the colour palette you’ve used here!

[codemonkey (Lee)]

Cheers Andy. The composition didn't quite pan out how I expected and I agree it's not well balanced in that regard. I'm still not sure on the palette either...

Splendid detail visible.

[Placidus (Mike and Trish)]

Lee, that's astonishingly good. Excellent, razor sharp detail. Magnificently acquired and processed.

Yeah I'm with Mike, there's a lot of detail there and I personally like the muted darker reddish browns and the blue.

A different look.

Superb vista. A real tour de force for an 8".

Fantastic image Lee. Great detail, interesting framing and very nice colours. I wouldn't change a thing.
