Lagoon and trifid

The Lagoon and Trifid nebula, processed the Pro-dataset from Ian Howarth. This data among with the other Pro-datasets are just crazy good datasets. You can get so much out of them that you will never really stop processing them. You always can get something more out of them. At least in my case :) Maybe my editing is a bit, you know...


The data is just so pure and clean. In contrast with the dataset of NGC 3324 where there are a lot of hotpixels. I think I'm not that far yet into my skills to erase them without taking a seat and cloning them out, wich takes a while and erases some of the natural detail. Wich is kinda a bummer for me because it's holding me of to process them. But I will get to them eventually.

The dataset consists out of
- 13x450s S2
- 6x450s O3
- 6x450s HA
Taken with a Takahashi FSQ-106ED in a bortle 3 zone. The camera was the FLI PL16803 using the Astrodon 3nm SHO filters.

If you have any tips (mostly on that hotpixel removing) and use the same editing software as me (listed below), please let me now.

Hope you are all safe, happy and healthy.
Have a good one!
