Into the Trifid

Hi All,

This was more of a test grab after having the CDK off the mount and pulled apart for maintenance. The Luminance was good so I decided to grab some RGB last night. I am surprised at the depth of detail within the darker structures. Still working on a way to suppress micro-lens effects at this resolution, but I'll save that for another time.

Image details:
Target: Messier 20 (M20) - The Trifid Nebula
Telescope: CDK 12.5 @f/8, 0.44" sampling @ bin 1x1.
Camera: STT-8300M
Composition: LRGB, 7.3 hours total, all bin 1x1.
