Description

Lagoon Nebula taken from Coonabarabran NSW, Australia  (Bortle 1 Dark site) with a TV NP127is in Narrow Band and presented in Hubble (SHO) Palette. 

We had 3 nights there and days 1 and 3 were a bit of a washout with seeing not being as good as it could be. Night 2 turned out to be the best with the 27 x 5min subs taken in sub -3 degree Celsius with 90+% humidity - ice was everywhere and dew heaters were working overtime.   

Intensity of color comes from the subs with no additional color saturation or calibration applied. Denoise done with Topaz and PixelMath applied to each starless filter image and then recombined to form final image. Also available in Astrobin as HOS palette and BG palette.
