Description

The Lagoon Nebula is an interstellar cloud complex in the Southern Skies. Its distance to Earth is about 4000-6000 LJ and ist width is about 50-100LJ. It is an area of intensive Ha, SII and OII emission.
Processing of the raw HaOIIISII data provided by TL was with PixInsight, Affinity Photo and Photoshop. As the stars were already in the raw files visibly overexposed, the processing was done in two separate avenues - one for the stars and one for the nebula.
