Lagoon Nebula 2011

Taken with an unmodified Canon 600D and a 150mm Newtonian. This was done unguided at short exposure times from 30 seconds to 2 minutes at low ISO exposures to control the light pollution and the glare of a full moon last night. It's pleasing to know that the Canon's factory built low pass filter lets quite a bit of Hydrogen-alpha emission through as is shown in this image. Processed and stacked in DSS, Canon Digital Photo Professional, and Irfanview.
