Description

I really enjoy imaging this area around Lagoon and Trifed.  There are interesting combinations of emission, dust, and reflective nebulas.  This is an SHOLRGB combination.  Yes, used the entire filter wheel!  I wanted a close to natural look, but the strong Sii signal made a nice yellowish highlight where it was strongest.  I imaged the SHO under a full moon, and the LRGB when the moon wasn't out.
