Lagoon to Eagle in Hydrogen alpha

Had a great week of imaging since last Sunday until last night. Clouds are back now but I managed to do 6 panels totalling about 30h of data. Tuesday was the best night by far. Seeing was ok. Saturday/Sunday were windy and the other nights the seeing wasn't great but the transparency was good and the air was dry so it did helps.

I shot these with a QHY9 and an SMC Pentax-M 150mm lens stopped down to f/5.6 and the subs vary from 20x to 30x10min. Baader Ha 7nm.

I did a couple of versions of this file as it is pretty big at about 8000px wide.

There's a 75% version here. [10MB - 5342x2779]
a 50% version here. [5MB - 3816x1985]
and one HD version here [1.6MB - 2076x1080]

I also did a platesolve which is available here [1.2MB]. Stacked with CCD Stack, saved as scaled TIFF files then registered in registar. The panels were then blended in Photoshop, noise reduction, levels, etc... If you need any details about processing steps fire away.

Thanks for looking and enjoy the view
