Lagoon and Trifid 2 panel Mosaic in HaRGB

[joshman]

After my reasonable success haphazardly putting together a 2-Panel Mosaic of the Lagoon in SHO (https://www.astrobin.com/0u7oed/B/) last year, I set my sights on including the ever-wonderful Trifid nebula into this years attempt.



In an effort to expand my repertoire, I've opted for something a little more traditional and shot this in HaRGB.



Taken with an ASI2600MM through ANTLIA Pro-LRGB and 4.5nm Ha filters behind a Tak FSQ106-ED on an AM5.

I've got about 10 hours of Data total on each Panel, with a bunch taken over the recent full moon; because we've had very little good weather this year, I wasn't going to let any clear nights go to waste.

I agree with Greg, also classic because it has that colour film look to it too, so something different and I am fond of the old colour film days, when astrophotography was analogue and bloody hard, when men were men and astrophotographers were..:question:?..craaaazy :nerd: and worked bluudy hard for their results, IIIII like it, nice work :thumbsup:

Thanks Bodon, I'm glad I was able to follow through on my plans from last year!




Thanks Greg! After this little bit of success, i think you'll be seeing more RGB from me!



Thank you very much for the thoughtful reply Mike. I'm truly touched, and glad i could spark a bit of nostalgia.



Thank you very much Alex! I'm just as surprised as you are!:rofl:

It's such a beautiful region, i had no idea there was so much intricate nebulosity outside of the major nebulas!
