M20 close up
Hi All,
I've still got a few objects from the SPSP trip to go through but won't have time for the next 10 days. So here is a quick processing of the M20.
Small image attached, full-size is here:

Wow, I start wondering why I keep exposing for hours while such great pictures can be done in minutes! Impressive..

Thanks everyone for positive comments - much appreciated. I'll be away for 10 days and then back to processing the resty of the acquired data.

Aside from the short exposure time, it's a fantastic image no matter what. For some reason I'm drawn by the stars in this shot as well as the nebulosity more than any other M20 shot I've seen. I really like it.
