Trifid Nebula

Hi All,

My capture from Thursday night. With the moon starting to grow in luminescence for another month and patchy nights without cloud, this was really my last chance for a while to capture something. The sky was beautiful and clear ( minus my hideous Bertole 8 LP ).

I've also just fitted my Rowan Belt Mod to my HEQ5 pro so it was a first night to give it a whirl. I must say I'm impressed with the difference it has made purely with calming down the periodic error. It made for much more consistent subs and more round stars.

Sadly I set my mount up in such a way that I lost an hour of subs as the OTA slewed past the gutter on the corner of my house.

Processing was also changed, still in Photoshop, but taking tips from a workflow by Trevor from astro backyard.

Thanks for looking
