M20 Trifid

[bluescope]

Decided to setup at 1.30am last night and wait for ngc253 ( Sculptor Galaxy ) to rise .... while I was waiting I shot some other objects. Here's one. Not very good but not that awful either. I know the shortcomings of such a short exposure and I'm not into stacking yet.

Nice! More exposures would be a charm though. ;)

Thanks Nick and Mick.
I have actually posted an image of M20 before, not really sure which one I prefer but probably the latest one.
