Trifid Nebula (better late than never)

[Andre27]

Good Day To All

Forgot about this one taken taken last year between June & July , I am happy with this one considering the manipulation in PS6 to curb severe coma.
Arguably one of my better efforts.

I have not imaged since this image , fortunately all the additional equipment pieces I ordered should arrive next week ,then it should be full steam ahead.

Thanks for looking.

Hi Andre,
nice data.
I hope you don't mind - I did a little re-processing on the small file you posted.
Do you think this looks better?
I think it needed a star mask to control those bright stars.

cheers

Thanks Allan , I am but a fledgeling when it comes to image manipulation , so normally it is a hit or miss senario for me.
I suppose I should have made the stars smaller as well to impact less on the overall image.

Thanks Andre

Hi Andre,
you've done well,
processing is an almost never-ending task.
