Trifid & Cluster

[TheDecepticon]

Howdy,
I nearly wasn't going to post this one, there has been so many of late, but it is about all I have been able to get with this weather in the last month and a bit.

Approx 180mins total, 90 Lum in 5 min subs and approx 30 mins each RGB bin2, in 3min20sec subs over 2 nights. QHY9 mono, Megrez 110, EQ6 and EQAscom, guided with a Meade DSI and ST80, captured, calibrated and RGB combine and alignment in MaxIm5, final constuction and processing in PS CS3.

Whilst yes there has been a few posts of the Triffid of late this result is impressive...nice framing of the cluster and the Triffid. Also nice detail :thumbsup:

[strongmanmike]

Yeh been a few, always is this time of year ;)

This is a fine example, nicely framed, good colours and clean looking :thumbsup:

It was never the Trifid nebula you know...but the Pussy Cat nebula! You can really see the pussy cats face in your image.....her feet made NGC 6334 too ya know :D

Nice mate - never too many of this object.

Yeah I can see the pussy cat Mike - I can just make it out in your version ;) but I also see a lot of Winston Churchill there maybe with a dash of Julia Gillard with the red top. Dunno about the blue bottom but - might have been cold.

Mike didn't we tell you to keep your kitty out of it :) hehehe

Thank you! I did want to frame it better than just sticking it in the middle, so the cluster works well for that.:)



Thanks Mike. I must admit, I can see the cat better than I can the chicken in that other nebula.:rofl:



Thanks!:D



Thanks Marc! Hows the Hyperstar going?:shrug:



Cheers Luigi.:thumbsup:



Thank you Brendan.:D

Catching dust :P Have you seen the weather lately? Seriously my C11 is in pieces on the table again. Trying to sort out the field at prime focus. I have the AO coming this week so expect more rain. :thumbsup:
