Description

I have no chance to image that stunning nebula from my backyard, so of course I did it here in France. It is a SHO version and I took the time to make RGB stars for it. Because it is even here near horizon, I was a little dissapointed a with the resolution, but after a soft sharpening it's ok for me. The Lagoon nebula is one of the objects, I clearly prefer in hubble pallet colours, which gives so much more possibilities for differentiation in details. Hope you like it too...

CS, Christoph
