| Description |
The Trifid Nebula is one of the wonders
of the summer skies. Located near Sagittarius, the
Trifid nebula is interesting because it shows both blue
and red in color photographs. The name derives from the
dust lanes that divide the nebula. |
| Processing |
This picture was generated by combining
7 pictures, of about 4 minutes each, taken with a Canon
20Da camera, through an AP160 telescope. The camera was
at prime focus without any flattener or focal reducer.
The telescope was mounted on a Losmandy G11 mount and
guided with an SBIG ST-4 Autoguider. Processing was done
in ImagesPlus. |
