I wanted to get a start on it while everyone is too busy with other stuff! The Lagoon hasn't been done to death yet this year

Thanks Logan, I did this maybe 10 months ago with a DSLR and you'll be surprised how little exposure you need to get a good job on this target!

1.8 hours with an unmodded DSLR

My sincerest apologies .....

Not to worry Matt, I saw when your headlights when on (I was at the Mewlon) and it was the subs after that as the sky was lightning up

My car does the same thing

Thanks M&T, my first version was far too red. Wasn't until I'd finished it that I came to realise that it needed to be pinker and show some of the blue in the lagoon more
Doesn't quite have the detail of your Hour Glass from a year or two ago!

There are some bad aspects of low read noise and F/3... LOTS of very short subs. I'm using the lowest Gain setting and I only need 120s RGB and half to a third of that time for Luminance. I'll fill up that 4TB HD in no time

That’s a neon pink thong on my phone. Nice, in a flamboyant way

I did NGC 3576 last year... Well I did M8 last year too but what the heck
