Lagoon Neb

Hi. Just a quick one flying out the door to work.

7 x 65 second subs and darks. Darks averaged to make a master and subtracted from each sub then stacked by hand.

Applied Ivo's StarBright to raise the colours with some sharp and contrast adjustment - very minor. .jpeg doesn't do any favours.

Didn't see the Triffid Nebula at the edge of the frame until I downloaded the files. Next time I'll get both.

Added a second image for comparison. This time tone mapping the final .tiff image stack to produce two additional variants, then stacking them with the .tiff image stack.
