M8 and M20 Nebulas

Hi all,

A shot of the Triffid and Lagoon nebulas from a couple of weekends back. Taken using a Canon 6D at ISO 6400. Quite amazing considering.

ISO: 6400
Exposure: 28 x 60 seconds
Scope: Megrez 90 APO + Borg DGL
Mount: GM-8

Probably the worst thing about the image is some trailing. The colour is OK but hard to judge as that region of the milky way is so cluttered I find it hard to pick a neutral colour.

Significantly larger and higher quality image here:
