The Trifid

[SpaceNoob (Chris)]

Hi All,

My first image in almost 6 months, between work and poor weather not much has been done. But here is my latest, the Trifid nebula (NGC6514) captured from my backyard here in Canberra.

Captured over 25, 27, and 29th September 2013. Very windy but I got what I could.

FSQ106EDXIII and STT-8300M, LRGB 152:45:40:40 L(1x1) RGB(2x2).

Looks like it is "The Day of the Trifids" all over again.

Nice image hard target to miss grabbing some photons from.

Very nice image Chris, what mount do you use and what part of Canberra are you in? I really need to escape my Belconnen skies.

Cheers,
Cam

I'm slightly west of Belconnen, out at Macgregor; to the west there is not much between me and the mountains.

Using a Paramount MX, though it is not a permanent setup just yet. I need to drop a pier. The wind has been crazy the last few days.
