M21 Trifid Nebula DSI III Hyperstar f1.8 Lens

Hi All,

M20 Trifid nebula, imaged this one at our WSAAG Linden Observing site in the Blue Mountains near Sydney. http://wsaag.org

Got some good nebula detail and star colours in this 9 x 30 seconds combined exposures. Amazing results for such short exposures with Hyperstar.

Celestron GPS11, EQ wedge, Meade DSI III, Hyperstar f1.8 Lens, Processed in Photoshop.

Regards
Gerry

Yes, those hyperstars can really pull in the detail and fast.

Well done Gerry.

Nice Trifid shot!

Note - Trifid Nebula is M20, not M21

Hi Gerry, a very nice image for only 9 images combined.

What type of DSI III are you using? Is it one shot colour or monochrome and filters?

Cheers

That is a lovely result Gerry for a few very short exposures.

Nice colour as well.

Well done.
