Here's the framing of the Lagoon and Trifid I should have shot at IISAC This shot is from Thursday 9/5 .

Taken with Canon 60Da / Hyperstar lens on C11. CLS filter used.

Total of 42 minutes by 65 Subs. 10,20,30,60 and 90 seconds all @ iso 800 , unguided. Hope to have guide equipment soon.

Stacked and processed in Pixinsight , no flats or darks. I love the DBE and ACDNR tools in PI , they are very handy.

All suggestions welcome

Cheers

Rod

A beautiful wide photo Rod.

I love the colours and nice composition.

Your Hyperstar is working very well.

That's a great image Rod.
I would have processed it slightly differently with the dark areas not quite so dark but that is personal taste.

Very nice image! Great framing and colours

Have you tried the LHE tool in PI? I find it really good to make the dark dusty part stand out a bit more, and brighten up the nebula.

Thanks Ross, the Hyperstar is great, Although its fast , I've learnt to to spend more time per target rather than slewing all over the sky in one night.

Cheers Allan , I see what you mean, I've still got Pixinsight L plates so its been a little hit and miss

Thanks Erik

I haven't tried that tool, this is only my second image processed using PI. I've just been closely following Harry's tutorials (which are very helpful).
I think PI is great and would recommend it to anyone.

I'll try the LHE tool tonight, thanks for the tip
