Magic. One of your best images. I think this formula of combining quality data from the past or from multiple scopes is very good indeed and is utilising all that earlier hard work to capture the data.

Now you've set Marc on a mission to explore the blueness of M8.

Greg.
Gee, thanks Greg, I wasn't perfectly happy with the final result actually, the data set really wasn't complete enough for a better result though.

The blue skirt was strongest in the AG12 data (remember it is essentially your scope...just not royalty )

Show off
nah, not very hard to do, just a fine balancing act to get thedifferent resolutions to look balanced but thanks for the sentiments

Yeah it's faint but shows up to some extent in quite a few Lagoon shots really

Clever processing there Mike, way over my head,,! Image looks grouse, great color and detail in the central bright zones, Top job
Cheers Bobo and yes nothing wrong with mini skirts...they're on the way back in too... again.

Cheers Ricki, yeah the blue is there so perhaps people just process it out in order to match what other images look like, I dunno?

Glad I was able to surprise M8's No.1 ticket holder
