I took this one on my last dark site trip. Acutally conditions were not that great, it was very windy and seeing was OK as a result. Later nights were sensational but this was taken on the first night when it was very windy.
Always a favourite, the Trifid Nebula. Now reprocessed to retain the fluffiness of the nebula and reduce the overexposed heavy contrast look.
