Trifid Nebulae ~ 4 * 300 secs

[g__day (Matthew)]

My latest attempt at stacking and guiding a slightly longer duration shots from light drenched Sydney.

At present I am trying ISO 800 shots so I grabbed the best 4 of 5 300 second shots with dark frames automatically subtracted by the Canon 400D.

So this is really a Photoshop CS2 exercise in manipulating an image correctly. I am going for sharpness before colour fidelity - I will try and learn that next!

I am surprised you can get 300 seconds in Sydney.
Great effort I dont know how you can manage it.
