M8 Lagoon Nebula - First Attempt
After much messing around with processing, I think I have rendered a passable Lagoon Nebula...
First imaging outing with the Meade 5000 80mm Triplet... a few issues with my mount that I am still investigating & only limited time for exposures until plastic on plastic engagement occurred. Canon 1100D, unmodded.
Approximately 52 Lights (1600ISO/30 sec & 800ISO/60 sec mix), 16 Darks stacked in DSS & processed initially in Startools with some further tweaking in Afinity Photo...
I'll be honest, I'm not sure if I should be happy with the result or not; I thought I had some pretty good data albeit, only relatively short exposures & not a massive amount of them. Getting it to this state was fairly challenging...
As always, comments & advice are more than welcome
