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
