The Blue Lagoon - M8 in NB (Updated- Ha stars only)

My first attempt at NB for this popular target.

Only 8 Hrs so far- 3x Ha, 3x S2 and just 2x O3 in 20 min subs all binx1 -

Needs lots more data but difficult at this time of year as its disappearing behind the neighbours house by 11pm.
Nice to shoot a bright target for a change though.

Started life in Hubble palatte but as usual - I made a few colour tweaks!
(hope the colours look ok, this monitor at home is not as accurate at the one at work, even though it's calibrated)

The O3 was all slightly out of focus, interesting as I didn't touch anything between rotating filters, but it's affected the stars a little.
I'll probably remove and replace them all eventually with RGB stars.

Thanks for looking, comments welcome

New version now with Ha stars only, looks much cleaner - High Res here - http://www.astrobin.com/full/216516/B/
