M20 - The night of the Trifid
Hello everyone!
Well last night was another one of those nights where everything came together. I completely changed how my guidescope was attached to my main scope and it looks like my flex issues have been fixed.
The attached image consists of 41 three minute subs taken using a QHY8L OSC attached to my 8" f/6 newt. Guiding with a QHY5 through an Orion ST80 and PHD. A coma corrector and Baader UHC-S filter completed the imaging train. Darks, flates, etc. were also taken and applied. Stacking was in DSS and processing in StarTools. Final cosmetics and presentation in GIMP.
So without further ado, here is my interpretation of M20, The Trifid Nebula.
Cheers,
Mario
