G'day again,

Located in the constellation Sagittarius, the Trifid nebula is a beautiful combination of reflection nebula (blue) and emission nebula (red).

This picture is comprised of 18 x 15 minute exposures, totaling 4.5 hours. It was captured on Sunday night 17th May 09 up until the last quarter moon came up and drowned out the sky.

Imaging telescope: Skywatcher Black Diamond ED120mm APO
Imaging camera: Orion Starshoot Pro, cooled CCD
Guide telescope: Skywatcher Pro Series ED80mm APO
Guide camera: Orion Starshoot Autoguider

Capture software: MaxIM DL Esentials
Processing: Photoshop Elements 6 & Noels Actions.

Blessings,

Barry.
