Messier 20 (trifid nebula), Sagittarius

• mount : Takahashi NJP driven with Astro-electronic FS2

• guiding : off-axis guide with PHD2.

• Telescope / Lens : Takahashi TOA-130S (F = 1000 mm, f = 7.7)

• camera : EOS 60Da

• camera parameters : ISO 1600, and 360 sec x 5 frames (stacked and trimmed).

• processing : Adobe Lightroom CC and Photoshop CC

 

At a not-so-busy night, I went to dark mountains and tune my larger equatorial mount (Tak's NJP) with a telescope 1m focal length.

Guiding parameters for diurnal motion is not completed yet and star image is not true circular in this photo. The problem, however, gets gradually to converge, I think :-)
