Its been a long time between images with a lot of cloudy rainy weather at my dark site on new moon weekends since Feb.
I managed finally to get 2 clear nights last week. One was excellent seeing the other was very good seeing.
The Trifid Nebula, a very well imaged object and deservedly so as it is
one of the most beautiful of all the nebulas.
