Trifid Nebula

[johnnyt123]

I know this image of Trifid Nebula isn't nearly as spectacular as some of the images being put up recently but I hope you all don't mind me posting it.

I took this last night (Under a bright Moon unfortunately) after I finally seem to have got the hang of drift aligning.

I used Orion Starshoot Deep Space Colour Imager pro V2
Celestron C8 f10
0.8x WO field flattener
HEQ5 Pro mount
Celestron autoguider.

stack of 6x 10min subs and 6x 5 min subs
stacked in DSS and processed in DSS and PS6.

All feedback is welcome.

Very nice image John, it would be a ripper with a few more subs :thumbsup:

Cheers
Jo

I feel that the stars are blown out.
and there may have been a little drifting.

would taking shorter duration subs reduce stars blowing out like that?
