Lagoon Neb better seeing

[kinetic (Steve)]

Hi,

I had another go at the Lagoon this morning...far better seeing
than yesterday's attempt here:

I will try and add the colour data from yesterday to today's result
and see how it turns out.

I knew I could do better than yesterday, I was a bit disappointed with
that effort.

My 8y/o son joined me in the hour before dawn and we watched Jupiter
through his 8"homemade newt. Gobsmacking clarity.
He saw the GRS for the first time

Top stuff Steve, that's a great image and nice and sharp as well.

Your partner in crime looks totally engrossed in his viewing. That's great he's into astronomy a well. At least you'll know where the DSI is when it dissapears.

Cheers

Nice to see a bit of colour there Steve
The latest image sure is looking good.

And as for your young bloke...careful Steve, that inch aperature per year of age ratio may become a habit.
I wouldn't want to be you on his 21st birthday.

LOL Ric,

He's a lot like me when I was at school, frustrated by how revisional
and dumbed down the astronomy part of the curriculum is.
He soaks up knowledge like a sponge, like all kids do if they are
stimulated!

The 8" will do him for a while yet Justin...although I can't wait till
he's a few years older and we might grind another mirror together.

Thanks all again for the kind words guys,

Nice Steve, loads of detail.

[AlexN]

Niiiiccee! Top work mate... thats sharp as buggery with tons of detail!!

Lovely.

[multiweb (Marc)]

Wow! That's sharp indeed. Impressive

[Quark (Trevor)]

Very well done Steve,

Good to see your young bloke taking an interest.
Steve, you have some great structure and very delicate detail in this image although I reckon your Omega Neb image is the best you have done so far. The Swan is an absolute favorite of mine and I take every opportunity to observe it, this image of The Lagoon is right up there but The Swan, in my opinion is great.

Cheers
