Lagoon Tonight. I'm a happy camper.

[bloodhound31]

This one took me hours to set-up, photograph and process, but I am extremely happy with my little ED80 and Canon 400 D set-up.

Lagoon Nebula 17 minutes at F/7.5 ISO800 Darks and offsets removed blah blah. Processed with Deep sky stacker.

Manually tracked using an illuminated reticule on fork mounted C11 (polar aligned on an equatorial wedge)with the camera on the ED80, piggybacking on top.

I think I'm getting the hang of this.......

Hi Baz,

Very nice image . It is time consuming isn't it? Could you upload this to the image gallery. The first time you upload to the gallery, it will create your own gallery area, and your images will display randomly on the site like the others.

Thanks,

Simply amazing shot, great work.

This is a great shot indeed, But I'm seeing some odd green areas in the nebula itself, which is different. Anyone else seeing this?

I can't say I am seeing much in the way of green. I think it tends to be more on the blue side of things, at least from the way it looks like on my monitor.
