Last night was another productive night under the stars. I thought I was going to have to call it quits when some cloud rolled in and my autoguider lost the tracking star, but a bit of patience and some U-Tube browsing kept me amused until they cleared again.  :lol:

Total of 3.5 hours of 10-minute subs.

The Lagoon is about 4,100 Light years from Earth and is an active star forming cloud, with plenty of Bok globules of protoplanetary material.

Hope you like it!

Baz.

Fantastic image Baz, one of my favourite nebulas, but unfortunately another I just can't get from my location
