Hi Folks

I have collected this image of the central region of the Lagoon nebula. I had very good seeing (for me) on one night with stars around 2 arc seconds FWHM and I went flat out collecting luminance subs to make the most of it.

Image has been collected with Plane Wave CDK-700, Astrodon Gen 2 filters and FLI PL-16803 camera.

Image is here (2 Mb)

Folks...
To those that have looked at the image, I hope you enjoyed

To those that have commented, I thank you for your kind remarks.

Many think that if you have a large scope then it will all be easy.... I have got news for you :-). If I achieved images like this one more often, then I would also post more often... you can read between the lines..


Thanks again & regards

Colin Eldridge
