The Lagoon

Arun Hegde #66861 Not many people share images here, it seems, but I thought this would be a nice change from the technical issues/problems we discuss here to share what can be done with our equipment. This one is of the Lagoon Nebula that I imaged earlier in the week from a dark sky site about 30 miles away from where I live. I also enjoyed viewing this, the Swan and Eagle through binoculars as I was imaging. This is about 5 hours total in LRGB. It is a bit low in the sky here, 22 degrees at its highest, so guiding was not as great as with other objects I image.? Clear skies, Arun

Brian Valente Member Profile All Messages By This Member #66863 well done Arun nicely colored too. There's an inclination to oversaturate, and I think you've balanced it nicely toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Sat, Jun 20, 2020 at 7:38 PM Arun Hegde <arun.k.hegde@...> wrote: Not many people share images here, it seems, but I thought this would be a nice change from the technical issues/problems we discuss here to share what can be done with our equipment.

Sonny Edmonds #66868 Well, this platform isn't really meant for much more than link sharing. More meant for information sharing. I usually share mine with friends on a Photography forum. -- SonnyE (I suggest viewed in full screen)

Arun Hegde #66878 Yeah, I am totally jealous of you Southern Hemisphere folks for objects such as this! The bulge of the Milky Way passes right through zenith there and makes for some spectacular images.

Timothy Campbell All Messages By This Member #66926 开云体育 I guess I never realized that when you get to dark-enough skies, you can almost make out what appears to be three faces looking down on you. ?;-) toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Jun 28, 2020, at 7:23 AM, "marc@..." <marc@...> wrote: ?On Tue, Jun 23, 2020 at 04:17 AM, Arun Hegde wrote: Yeah, I am totally jealous of you Southern Hemisphere folks for objects such as this!

This site is actually so dark the milky way starlight casts your shadow on the ground.
Arun Hegde #66944 I guess it just dawned on me how dark this is, and what it means to have Scorpio and Sagittarius that high. You can make out the dark river to Antares and the orange color of the Rho region in a 15s shot. That's pretty amazing.

Even if it's at the zenith it's pretty faint and needs a lot of integration time. I started a mosaic 3 years ago and added to it. It's 4 panels to date:?? It would be pretty hard to image above the horizon I imagine.
