IMO the Lagoon can handle quite a bit more saturation, but that is of course a matter of taste Great work as always Paul.

Thanks Rolf, you could be right regarding the lagoon. It just looked so fluro to me even as this. Might have to do with the RC12 soon, just to say I have covered as many combination as possible.

Thanks Slawomir, unfortunately my new STXL has developed an issue so I will be imaging with the QSI through the RC12, mainly as an experiment, but I want to start doing a few galaxies.

Thanks Steve, I have always found this particular object difficult to really get right and I am still not entire convinced I have got it right. I do however know I spent a great deal of time trying to balance the star fields and nebulosity together. The big problem I have found is that using Ha in the mix can taint the blue badly and the end result looks oddly purple across the field. I tried to use both Johns recent image of the area and Ricks image as guide lines. I suppose it really needs a larger field of view to give that huge field of view.
