Lagoon/Trifid

First light with the SWED80 Pro just an hour ago.

Canon 40D
ISO 800
300s Sub
Guided with SSA

Levels and Curves Adjustment and Reduced Saturation.

Light Polluted Melbourne. No LP Filter.

Just managed to fit Trifid and Lagoon Nebulas in the frame.

Star elongation along edges. Is that guiding errors or could the scope benefit from a field flattener?
