Lagoon Nebula from Punggai

Post by rcj »

This is a new image taken during the Punggai trip last weekend. Captured with the 5-inch refractor. Some of the data was taken during hazy conditions, but albeit the less than ideal weather conditions, it was good to take deep sky objects once again, after several months of break.

Beautiful! I think this was worth it despite the running around and waiting for clear skies!
