Close-up of the Lagoon and Hourglass Nebula

Hello everyone,

here's a close-up image of the Lagoon and Hourglass Nebula. Colours are subjective and different to those I posted in the wide field area of this same image, see http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/s...ead.php?t=9944.

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

regards to everyone
