M8 Lagoon

[ChrisV]

Here's the Lagoon. I've done this before, but this time I tried it with the Duo filter on my OSC camera. Captured in dribs and drabs from early July - August. Totoal of about 15 hours. Finally got some time to process it.

Comments please, as I'm still trying to figure out how to attack these images. For this I split the RGB channels and treated them as pseudo-Halpha & OIII.

Can't give any technical advice but I like the colour scheme.

It's a nice image, and there's obviously a lot of good data there, but I think there needs to be some more difference/contrast between the colours. The light green/green is swamping it.

That's just my opinion, of course.

hi Chris, i can see you have lots of data there, but combining it is a different kind of challenge, you could try dial down the greens and get more colors from the blend and experiment...

this version is not the way it should look, i only want to show you there is way more in your data...

Thanks Chris and Diego for your words and example. Yes, the green. It's pretty lurid, over the top. Chartreuse? I'll have a go at reblending. This probably applies to all my recent images
