M8 - Narrowband - 2nd Panel Added

[Martin Pugh]

Good evening and thanks to those for commenting on the image I posted yesterday.

I have added a second panel and reprocessed from scratch, but I did include the central portion of the Lagoon in this new image as I was quite happy with the detail there. Yes, I agree the framing could be better for NGC 6559 and I am working on adding two further panels.

So - 45 mins per filter per panel and there is a link to a much larger image on the page.

The 2nd panel looks fantastic. Bring on the mosaics!
I did a 4 panel mosaic of this area a few years back with the Honders.
It was just a bit narrow to fit Trifid and Lagoon in 2 frames with a 16803 sensor.

Looking great.

Greg.

Very nice, Martin. I assume there's more to come?

[Martin Pugh]

Thanks again!

Yes Rick, I have two more panels in train so that I can completely frame NGC 6559.

Cheers

Martin, I really like how you present narrowband data in a harmonious way; splendid detail and well balanced colours provide with a very pleasing viewing experience. I look forward to the completed mosaic.

Detail in the centre of the Lagoon is exquisite Martin! I'm going to run out of superlatives when you get it finished! :) But for now I'll leave you with excellent, glorious & first rate! ;)

And thank you for posting the full res on your old site!

I like the palette too, it's a nice take on an often imaged area. Looking forward to seeing your finalised image.
