Description

Lagoon & Trifid nebulas, surrounded by the Milky Way.

This is the first deep sky image of my own data I've processed in ages, I came back home from Australia in June after spending three amazing months there. I got to do so much astrophotography & amateur astronomy with many awesome people. I already miss the southern skies & great amateur astronomy community.

This data was taken with the a7S & the vintage Takumar f/4 200mm lens, this setup worked quite well and turns out the subs were very clean of noise, as every time I tried to do noise reduction in PI, it seemed the only thing I got out of it was losing more detail.

I am going to work more on the image to try and get it to 'pop' more and enhance the nebula colours.

I have a huge backlog of data to process as well, a good opportunity to get more acquainted with PixInsight as well.
