Description

This is a two-panel mosaic, narrowband image of the Lagoon Nebula in my attempt at the rust/blue version of the Hubble palette (SHO).  I mostly followed the excellent PixInsight tutorials on the Light Vortex Astronomy web site.  I also used the Dark Structure Enhance script to bring out the darker areas and a very light touch of Local Histogram Equalization to bring up some additional detail in the nebula.
