Trifid and Lagoon Nebs with the Sigma lens

[john_drummond]

Hi all,

here's another image from last night - the Trifid and Lagoon Nebs. It was taken with the Sigma 70-200mm f2.8 APO + a 1.4x telextender. Thus 200 x 1.4 x 1.6 = 448mm f4.

The transparancy last night was bad - high humidity, chimney smoke?, high cloud etc so the sky looks a little brown...:confuse3:

A larger image can be seen at:

You sure did have a busy night! Another excellent shot John.

The larger version is excellent, I especially love the trifid.
