M20- Trifid Nebula

Hi Folks,

Ran a systems check last night on my camera, on a rare nice clear night in Melbourne.

I got my SBIG 8300C back last week after it's enforced "Family Holiday" at the factory in the USA.
Pleased to say that it is back to 100% and the sensor is nice and clean too.

Chose a popular target M20 for a straight RGB run, from the 'burbs with the IDAS LP filter, (no Ha this time around).

Processed in PS with a bit of LAB mode to bring back the yellow stars.

15x10 mins with darks. Nice to get a bit more detail, looking forward to trying this again under a dark sky.

Thanks for looking

Andy
