Second Light, M20 Trifid Nebula

Hi All,

I have tried again for another astrophoto with the data I captured last night on the Trifid.

Still not sure of the best way to process, things take longer with these large images...I may have overdone this one, I am not sure...there is also some coma at the edge of the field so I will have to try and figure out how to attach the MPCC with the T Thread on the 1000D.

I think this one seems OK, feel free to offer suggestions, I will try some tips offered from my M8 post and see if I can get longer and better subs. I think there is a lot of room to improve, hopefully.

Image Details:

Subject: M20 Trifid Nebula
Telescope: Black Diamond 200mm Reflector @ F5 on HEQ5 Pro
Camera: Canon 1000D
Capture: Canon EOS Utility
Guiding: No
Frames: 9 x 30 second at ISO 800, 1 x Dark Frame
Processing: Registax 5 only

Here is a link to a less compressed JPEG (5 Meg)

Thanks for looking

Cheers

Chris
