Trifid Nebula - 1st IIS photo posting

Hi everyone

I've been an in-active IIS member for quite a few years now, and have been learning stacks whilst reading the posts and enjoying the photos!

So... after much trial and error over the past 6 months I figured I'd finally upload one of my better images thus far. The biggest thing I've learnt with astrophotography to date - that image processing is just as important as taking the actual photos! If you put the effort in it's well worth the results

Details:
Trifid Nebula
8 inch LX200 ACF
Canon 600D
ISO 6400
12 x 45 sec exposures (guided)
Processed in Nebulosity & Photoshop.

Apologies if the pic is lossy, I converted to jpg. All comments welcome
Cheers
Evan
