Description

The Lagoon Nebula taken in the summer of 2013. Although I used very short exposures, it came out well enough. This was one of my first images taken with my AT8IN and before I had acquired my coma corrector or auto-guiding system. ***Revision: This data was reprocessed using PixInsight and tweaked in GIMP. What an incredible difference that made. During processing, I extracted a synthetic Luminance channel and processed that separately from the RGB then recombined them. I'm still learning PI but what I've learned so far has but me leaps and bounds ahead on the curve. thanks again for looking.

***REVISION C***

This revision includes boosting the color saturation, deconvolution of the L channel, TGVDenoise and minor tweaking of the contrast. All done with PI.
