M20 The Trifid Nebula

Last night Mackay finally got cold. And man was it cold! 5C out with the scope. So here is my M20 with the 10 inch F4. It's a bit soft as seeing was crud and focus was hard to stabilise. But it's better than a slap in the face with a wet fish, I think. I wanted to get as much outer blue reflection nebula as possible. I think I got a reasonable amount.

GSO 10 inch F4 Newtonian, 584 x 30 seconds unguided on an HEQ5 Pro, Baader Semi-Apo and Astronomik CLS filters (separately not stacked), Baader MPCC MKIII and standard Pentax K-5.
