M8 is popular!
M8 - my second target from last weekend and first ever attempt at the Lagoon Nebula. With my limited knowledge of astro-image processing I found M8 difficult to process and look 'right' (albeit that's a subjective thing): the nebula's colours always looked strange (too pinkish); processing with either Siril or APP resulted in so many stars that it was distracting; and, the background always had a green hue despite my best efforts to remove the colour cast.
Anywhooo here is my inaugural attempt at M8:
28 x 180s subs
Darks, flats and dark flats
SW120ED with reducer/flattener @f6.4
ASI294MC
Edited in APP, Photoshop and (very lightly in) Topaz DeNoise, then cropped.
I need to learn how to make stars smaller lol! Alex
