Description

Lagoon Nebula in HOO

With some good seeing conditions (although the moon was nearly full) grabbed about 8 hours total on Lagoon, trying to see deeper into the nebula's heart. 

NGC 6530 open star cluster is often overlooked feature of Lagoon, but I think it shows nicely here

ran out of time for SII but that should be coming

RGB stars, very short 8 min ea R G B

this was about 2.5 hrs HA and about 5 hrs OIII
