Didn't know you could pull so much O3 data on that Messier. Very nicely done.

I don't think I've ever seen the Lagoon with such a strong blue interior.

That's beautiful Kathy.

As a visual guy I never realized how much more there was to it besides it's core.

Thanks, Babo. As an Oiii target, it was one of the brighter / easier ones I've done. Also, my HOO process subtracts a bit of the Oiii from the Ha, so the Oiii-rich areas appear blue rather than white.
