thanks everyone,

Glad you liked the Trifid Nebula. When I examined the final image at 100% actual size, all the stars appeared like seagulls... well they all seemed to be flaring to one side - on that night I didn't use the telescope exhaust fan before imaging - so I was just guessing that air current in my scope had cause the stars to flare.

This become a lot less noticable when I re-sized the image to a suitable size for IIS and web site.

regards
Paul M
