Hubble palette Lagoon Nebula

[pluto (Hugh)]

I was fortunate to be under VERY dark skies last night at a friends property near Wombeyan (good seeing too), however I was unfortunate in that the clouds only let me get an hour of imaging done.
4x5min Ha
4x5min OIII
1x10min SII
Processing in DSS, Startools, PS (and I aligned and combined the channels using Nuke... it just seemed like the best tool for the job that I had at hand)

Not super happy with my processing yet, need to fix the fat red stars, and the surplus of red stars due to pushing the lone SII sub a bit too far, but I'm sure this will become easier when I'm able to get more/better data especially through the SII filter.

looking good Hugh. The detail is those dust clouds are giving it some 3D depth for me.
Hope you get some good skies again soon.

A fine image Hugh. Nicely done. Keep adding data.

A great start.

Try lengthening your subs - there's a lot more nebulosity to be had!
