Triffid Nebula with Houghys cooled DSLR

Hi
Heres the Triffid with Houghys cooled DSLR
3x10 mins ISO400, UV/IR filter. MPCC. 10 inch f5.6 newtonian, off axis hand guided. Processed with a dark, flat and offset in Iris as usual, then Photoshop and resized in PSP4. Fighting a bit of wind at the time. Off axis hand guided.

Ironically at the time I was listening to a radio walkman when a song was played that mentioned looking at stars. Thats exactly what I was doing, looking at one and striving to keep it as stationary as possible in the red glowing reticle hehehe.
