Lets go for a swim.

Well I finally got to processing my recent capture of the Lagoon Nebula.



Like most things lately, I decided to go reasonably deep with my integreation, and the result is nearly 25 hours of exposure across RGBHSO

Image Capture specifics are through the link on Astrobin, and I highly recommend looking at it large. basic processing workflow rocessing below.

Stars:
ABE > LinearFit > ChannelCombination > SPCC > StarX.
Stars manually stretched with HistorgramTransformation


NB:
ABE > LinearFit > StarX > NoiseX > EZ Soft Stretch > ChannelCombination (SHO) > SCNR/Curves to taste.

Stars Recombined with PixelMath

BlurX and mild DarkStructureEnhance

There was also some masking along with the Curves.


I hope you enjoy, I've also got 2 other iterations on the processing for this one that I've also uploaded to Astrobin, i definitely recommend looking at the Starless version.


Thanks for looking, and clear skies!
