Very nice Martin.
We're having nuclear winter conditions down south so no imaging for a while.

Awesome effort! The colours are epic. I was hoping to get out tonight to finish the RGB for my Lagoon and Trifid mosaic but there is cloud and a thick layer of smoke.

Oh well it’s coming up on state and national homebrew comps so I’m busy brewing anyway I suppose.

Fantastic image Martin !!
Colours are good and really fine details esp with the dark globules of dust.
You certainly are getting some great images with the 8 inch.
Cheers
Andy

Very good image. A large number of longish subs seems to pay off.

I am happy to see all those faint coloured stars are still visible in the final processing along with the detailed nebulosity.
