Hi Raymo,
My beginner level understanding is that if the Hubble palate is used the lagoon will indeed look blue in the centre. In this case I did not recolour the filter signals as I was using an OSC with my narrowband filters
The main emissions from M8 are Ha, Sii and Oiii. When Ha and Sii are combined this give a predominately orange/red colour. When I use the Sii filter the signal is strong even with my OSC. So when the orange/red is combined with the Oiii signal it gives a sort of Olive/Green colour in the inner part of M8 (which I moved to a more yellow (artistic licence)).
