M20 Triffid

Hi,

I thought I would post my effort at the Triffid from last night. Taken with W/O Flt110 through Canon 400d unmod ISO 800 PHD guided. I was unsure of time and think I have blown out stars by doing 10 minute subs. Anyway this is 7 x 10 min lights, 3 x 10 minute darks and bias frames but did not do flats(silly I know). The image is cropped about a quarter I think.

When processing I struggled with a red tinge but removed with adjusting brightness and contrast and moving slightly into the red histogram. I also think my focus might have been slightly off and for some reason I think even though guided my stars are not pinpoint.

Anyway I still think it looks great and it is know the background for my laptop.

Feel free to offer advice.

Thanks

Mark
