M20 Trifid Nebula and M8 Lagoon Nebula and surrounds

I was a little bored and took the 550D with the 150-500 lens piggybacked and computer supported, on a Meade LX200GPS 10" telescope for some imaging last night. It was cold but I did not feel it - my wife should have taken a photo to show how one can fool the cold onslaught. 150 mm 1Sep2013 with ISO 400 F7.1 24 x 2 min exposures(48 min in total). Only Darks subtracted but no Flats or Biases and no filters used.

Greetings from my backyard!!!!!
