Description

The Lagoon is low on the southern horizon for me with only about an hour or so window for imaging. This is the result of a single session of 65 minutes, shot in RBC with no additional filters. I am pleased with how this has turned out, particularly the fact that I managed to pick up the Hourglass nebula at its centre. Shot in a Bortle Class 3 area.
