The Lagoon Nebula - Messier 8

The Lagoon Nebula (Messier 8 ) taken over 4 nights in 2019 and 2021. More than 270 Lights, 240 flats, 80 Darks and using more than 300Gb of disk. Processing has taken about 2 weeks, but the results and fine detail is amazing. APM 107/700 scope on CGX mount and ZWO1600m and QHY268m cameras. Processed in PixInsight using John Murphy's NormalizedScaleGradient script which seems to have fixed the image "overlap" the happens when taking imaging over multiple sessions.

Looks good John. A link to a full res version would be good.
Nice idea about using nsg to fix multiple night overlaps.
