M20 - Triffid

Good afternoon to all, hope you are well.

Real life has kept me away from AP for a little while now but I have been able to get a few hours in this week. This is my first real attempt with this scope and mount, all my previous work has been with my SCT.
Thought I would take the time to share the image

Subs group 1: 220 x 60 second subs no guiding
Subs group 2: 60 x 120 second subs learning guiding with the mount at present

Flats, Darks and Bias are also used
Stacked in DSS
Processed in Photoshop

No stretching or modification of the colours all left as is for the natural look.

Equipment

Meade SN-10 (Rebuilt and aligned, the best I can)
Moonlite Focuser
Baader MPCC Mark III
Canon 450d (self modified)
NEQ6 Pro (Closely polar aligned but not spot on)

Very smooth Triffid with plenty of star colour. Like the soft tones you've managed. Beautiful nebula image Carl.
