Full Moon Lagoon...

Hi all.

I was up till 5am on Friday 26th.
Mind you it was a full moon and here I was trying to image the Lagoon and Trifid Nebulae for the first time.

captured with WO Megrez 110 Doublet
Orion Starshoot CCD colour imager.
Capture was guided with Celestron Autoguider.

About 30 min of data was captured for each Nebula and stacked in DSS.
final 2 images processed in CS6 and Photoimpact and stitched manually.

Damn full moon!!!

Hope you enjoy

John

Very nice, John-particularly under a full moon

Hi Ross.

Thanks for the positive feedback mate.

That WO 110mm Megrez you sold me has been a treat!!!
I think I finally got the autoguiding to work well.

hope you have been well.
