M20 - Trifid - DSI III Pro

[CoolhandJo]

Hi, second capture with the DSI III Pro of M20 Trifid Nebula

Through ED80 LRGB 32:24:24:24. Guided LX200 DSI-C

PS CS2 for false flats, curves, levels.

Seeing was OK, LP is always present in my area.

Thanks

Pretty respectable image Paul, I would suggest you back off the brightness a little as the colours are quite bright and the stars are over saturated a bit.

I hope you don't mind but I had a bit of a fiddle with the image by reducing brightness and increasing saturation to bring a bit of colour back into the stars. Will look much better when done to the original.

Nice Paul! You must be happy with that...:thumbsup:

That's a good result for an urban capture.

Nice shot there, Doc'....great colours, though as Doug said, it's a little too bright.

Doug did a great tweak! Thanks. looks much better. I have since tweaked the original.

Rob, Greg, Carl, thanks for encouragement and I must admit I am happy with the results now.

I think its time to invest in a LP filter though (possible Ha also).

agree with doug, just need to control the brighter parts of the image. however the rest is good tracking and focus look nice too
