Lagoon Nebula right, Chinese Dragon Nebula left

As I said above only the 5th pic completed since purchasing PI on 3/15. I am proud of this pic (I’ll give myself a B/B+). These two nebulae are located in the heart of the Milky Way core in Sagittarius. It was exciting for me to realize that with my telescope and ASI rig purchase a little over a year ago plus the use of PI that I can now develop pics with this kind of detail. The dust between the two nebulae shows how much space is not empty. For me this is like getting to go for a walk in space and take pics. Just fun!

PixInsight 100%. This is only the 5th pic I have developed with PI since purchasing it 3/15. Learning PI has been every bit as difficult as everyone says. I bought the Adam Block training videos too. That has been difficult as well. PI is a unique product and here is my conclusion, the creative latitude you have with PI far exceeds any other product out there. I am a neophyte to PI and I am glad I decided to invest the time to begin learning in depth.
