The Lagoon and Trifid Nebula widefield

[IanP]

beautiful wide field ... it's not to wide to loose details, and it's not to narrow to see all the big stuff ...

Yes I'll have to get onto that.

Love the wide field and both images are very nice, but same as Mike, I prefer the mono version.

Thanks Suavi. I am still optimising how to use this setup. I think the RGB needs to be a bit more carefully acquired with a refocus for each RGB perhaps and a stopping down from F4. Narrowband stars are tight and so is Luminance but RGB could be tighter. Perhaps a stop down ring once I know the optimum.

Open wiiiide I'm a fan of the mono version too.

Thanks Rick.

I optimised the system more since this was taken and have acquired more hours on it. So I'll be reworking it soon with the extra data. I might wait til the moon is out of the road and get some more data. We are having a longish dry spell down here with lots of clear nights.
