M8 BiColor Image R+B

I ran out of time and clear skies imaging M8 and only had red and blue frames towards my RGB tricolor image. I averaged the 15 minutes each of red and blue to synthesize a fake green frame, combined them as an RGB, and was pleasantly surprised with the result. Take a look and see what you think.

Dennis,

An excellent image of the Lagoon Nebula (M8) showing much contrast. The synthetic green appears to have worked well for the image. Thank you for sharing this image with us all.
