Trifid Nebula

Hi all,

I took this on a whim because I’ve had very little imaging time and I wanted to get something. The moon was probably to big and too close but that’s only going to get worse for the next 10-12 days. The seeing was average too.

I also had to crop the hell out of it because of a camera tilt issue.

Here it is though

80x180sec subs + darks only
GSO 8” f/4 Newtonian
Canon 350d modified @ iso400
SCT Duo Filter
HEQ5 pro guided Nextguide SAG
Bortole 8 skies

How much quicker are the f/4 newts, I've had one for a while now and am loving the lesser times needed.

Yeah Karl, they’re great. I got mine shortly after I bought my STC Duo Filter which being a dual narrowband filter, needs more time. Having the f/4 and going from 130mm to 200mm has been a huge help in keeping the sub lengths under control.
