Hi!
Got a pleasant surprise recently when my recent lagoon image from last month's mersing trip was chosen for APOD. Will be out this Wednesday (24th September). This was unexpected especially for a very commonly imaged and iconic deep-sky object, with a large pool of submissions. Nevertheless, the transparency that night was unusually clear and as Gavin has mentioned (a 9.5 rating night!).
