I have just finished processing my itelescope images of the Trifid nebula.
This image is a compilation of red, green, blue, luminance and Ha.
Average exposure timing was 250 seconds.
Whilst the blooming is a nuisance it stands to reason that the image overall benefits from no binning.
In the final full resolution version the stellar jet is just visible coming from the molecular cloud on the left side of the image.
Hi Sam
Fantastic shot!!!!
Really good balance I think.
Been playing around with itelescope a bit but haven't got results like yours.
What scope did you use?
And how many subs etc?
I've been using t17 and t31 a bit but ive got some issues when stacking because of size difference.
I think I must of changed binning maybe.
Anyway keep up the great images

Hello Andy
FOr this image, i used one of the larger scopes (T30) Planewave 510mm.
It really is a magnificent light bucket and has provided outstanding results every time i use it. A bit costly but well worth it.
I think mixing images from different scopes can be very challenging so i prefer to concentrate on certain objects with a specific instrument.
My processing is all done with Fits Liberator and GIMP.
I will post a full res image for this who would like to view the final result in detail.
Thanks for your feedback.
