That's terrific Lester. Really nice colors in there.

Thanks for your comments Marc. If I get time I will try some longer subs to see if any more can be squeezed out of the background. All the best.

A really nice image. Well done.

Greg.

[Lester]

Thanks Greg.

On a closer inspection of this image I noticed a small faint ring nebula between the Lagoon and Trifid amongst some bright yellow stars. My Sky program doesn't list it, and was wondering if it is related to the Lagoon or a seperate structure. Have others imaged this with higher resolution? I would be interested to see your results.

Thanks.

Nice one Lester

Great pairing and delicate reflection around the Triffid brought out.

This is a lovely image Lester. Colour looks good and the stars are pinpoint. This Tak combo seems to work very well.
Nice Job.

[Lester]

Thanks Trevor, John and Doug for your comments. I am looking forward to when the moon, and cloud leave the evening skies. All the best.
