The Trifid, a joy to image!

Hi,

Stayed up late last night to image the trifid nebula, Iv'e always wanted to do this one. Kept all the star colour and don't think I clipped in black.
This nebula is a joy to image and process!

Telescope 8” f/4 astrograph on a HEQ Pro 5 mount, orion mini guider.
Unmodded Canon 1100D at ISO 800.
12 x 300 sec subs ISO 800.
9 dark frames, 9 flat frames and 9 bias.
Stacked in DSS and post process in Phototshop.
Cheers,

Justin.
