Lagoon in a hurry

[xelasnave]

Same story...short exposures but I wanted to get something..20 minutes HA only 10 minutes for each of RBG and I forgot to get lum cause I was falling asleep at the wheel


The run on this object went pretty well in that I did everything real fast..focus adjusting settings etc and the lot was done in a little over an hour,,little time was lost between exposures and the cloud gave me a break..some subs with bottoms cut off..why I don't know but it happens...I what them as they come out and delete crook ones ..saves going thru them latter and is a great time saver... but way better than all the other times..an efficient run..no mistakes or hold ups..just got it done on auto responce.


I really tried to de saturate this image to the point where it looked black and white on my screen...anyways it is what it is.


I am happy with the detail considering the time but certainly it needs about three times the time...

At least looking today it does not look over saturated even if as I suspect the little colour there is indeed suspect☺.


What I notice is the lack of detail in the central region, which given the detail in the surrounds, should have been available in the data..I dont know and really dont feel like spending another day processing...I will satisfy myself that it is umbelievable that I produced anything given the clouds and fog...in the end when I breathed out you could have thought I was puffing on a cigar...but I think one must get used to capturing under thesr conditions...years ago I gave up on astro photography cause the dew beat me...well I am not going to let it deprive me now☺.

I think the colour fits the name, a nice little blue lagoon surrounded by sand.
