Yeah it was tri-ific...shame about the conditions but in the end not every image needs to be a masterpiece and it was good to be out in the dome with a beanie on again

Maybe as you say the stars were a bit bloated in the Trifid, though at the fine scale you're shooting it looks pretty darned good.

Cheers Dave, I guess the 12" and F3.8 helps to be able to gather enough image density to get three images in a night...and they are bright objects too of course.
Not long ago it was quite common but in this age of, unless it is 30+ hours why bother, that we find ourselves in, shooting three objects in one night is rather rare
