The Lagoon and Hourglass Nebula

Hello everyone,

here's an image I did recently of the Lagoon Nebula. I fiddled with this image a few times so I'm not to sure I have the colours "right".

The image is a stack of 7 x 2-minute exposures (14-minutes total) with the modified Canon 300D at the 2-inch prime focus of my 12-inch f/5 scope. Hand guiding done with 4.5" f/18 guidescope. Used the 2" Baader Coma Corrector and 2" Baader UV/IR Cut Filter.

There's a higher resolution image here
