Messier 20 - The Trifid Nebula

Hi all,

Here's one of my latest images - Messier 20, the Trifid Nebula.

It is a 62 min. exposure (25 x 150 sec. sub-frames) @ ISO400.

Higher Resolution Image: http://www.skylab.com.au/pmsa/ngc6618b.html

The image was taken with my observatory mounted 12-inch f/5 GSO Newtonian telescope on a Losmandy Gemini G-11 equatorial mount. Autoguided with SBIG 402 on 4.5-inch f/9 guidescope with 1.6x Barlow using CCDSoft. Camera Canon EOS 300D Digital ( Hα enabled ) focused with DSLR Focus. Used a 2" Baader Multi-Purpose Coma Corrector (MPCC) and a 2" Baader UV/IR Rejection Filter.
Image Processing Iris, Photoshop, Noiseware.

Clear Skies!
Paul
