HOO Lagoon

Hi all,

Finally, after seemingly never ending wet season the skies cleared up so it's time to pick up precious space data again. Last night I was given an opportunity to finish collecting OIII for the Lagoon I started two months ago; only SII left to capture - hopefully tonight and tomorrow night if needed.

A quick stitching together of about 20 hours of Ha and OIII through my 105mm guidescope: https://www.astrobin.com/full/411135/0/?nc=user

Thank you for looking
Suavi

Nice clean, clear and crisp image there Suavi

Do you normally collect OIII under significant Moon light?...guess the Lagoon is pretty bright.

Thank you and a good point Mike - SNR was about 3x weaker in OIII last night as opposed to the few subs I captured during a new moon over a month ago. But I really want to finish this image and any data is better than no data and, since my last year's full moon lobster got noticed by Greenwich judges I figured maybe full moon brings me luck

First thing I said when I went up to full resolution was, "Man that's clean". Detail is great, not over sharpened, no apparent noise in the background, nice tight stars and nicely processed. I am going to look forward to the version with the SII. I hope we see an RGB stars version also.

For bright objects like this I am sure some Moon is not too much of an issue for OIII data collection. If trying to image faint OIII though, like faint halos around PN's, it isn't a good idea

Very very nice, smooth and crisp, looking forward to the SII
I still reckon it looks like Homer if you rotate 90deg CW

It has that portal-in-time feel to it.

Best

That is just amazing. Didn't realise how good until I looked at it on my computer.

Top notch!

Woah! Beautiful - I pointed to it last night to take some snaps but clouds closed in so I shifted - glad I did - I wouldn't compete with that superb image. Well done!

Thank you everyone for encouragement - your very kind feedback gave me a much needed boost after a long absence from imaging
