M20 trifid nebula

[carastro]

I went to an Astro camp near Brighton which had a nice low southern horizon. I managed to get M20 but due to unco-operative guiding only managed 2minutes guided subs.

Pretty nice for short subs and a low-lying subject Carole.

Of course not.

Great shot. Especially considering its very low down and harder to guide in that region.

Lovely shot Carole. Like the colour contrasts. Great stuff!

Best regards,

Oh I wish I could get to see this...! Very nice Carole, especially considering the limited exposure

Lovely reflection blue you got, here in Brisbane its overhead like the Eagle and Lagoon and Milkyway is quite a sight. Getting it so low with these colours is impressive.

Thanks every-one, judging from all the comments it appears this is quite difficult to get - trust me to go blindly into something completely oblivious. I knew being close to the horizon it would have more atmosphere to pass through, but had not realised..........

its very low down and harder to guide in that region.

so perhaps this was my problem.

It's one of my favourite nebulas so did not want to pass up the chance and I knew one of our members had gone down to the south coast and got it, so with the low horizon thought I'd give it a bash.
