Trifid Nebula

[prokyon]

Hi folks,

I got two clear nights for capturing M20 in Sagittarius. -23° dec! Very difficult, but I love that object.  A combination of emission, reflection and dark nebula. So I did it. 

Done from my balcony with 80/480 APO and MoravianG2-8300FW. 21x300s for L and 10x300s for every channel in RGB.

That's really nice. It always amazes me to realise just how many stars there are in this part of the milky way.

OMG! Well worth the effort you've put in. Fabulous image!

You and a few others are making me itch to start DSO imaging myself. Got a lot of saving for kit to do first tho!
