Lagoon and Trifid QHY8

Hi All,

First night out with the QHY8, nice dark clear skies.

As the title says, an image of the Lagoon and Trifid.

Scope: ED80 prime focus
Mount: EQ6 and EQMOD
Guider: ST80, ToUCam and GuideDog
QHY8 Gain 50, Offset 114. Images captured in Nebulosity.
4 x 240s subs, 1 x 240s dark stacked in DSS.

Crop, levels and curves in PS5LE. No colour correction.

As always, comments are welcome. I'm still learning how to use the QHY8 and how to post-process.

Cheers,

Rob
