M8 Lagoon Nebula 3.5hrs b9

[ember reef]

Shot this around a month ago but didn't really like how it turned out. Reprocessed it and now I think this is better! Really wanted to get a nice transition from Ha on the outside of the nebula to OIII in the core. I feel like this is about as good as I can get it but if anyone has any tips or would like to edit that data let me know and I'll share it
