Lagoon and Trifid taken with 200mm lens

The Lagoon and Trifid Nebulae, this time taken with a my 200mm Pentax Takumar 200mm f4 lens.

I struggled a bit with that one in acquisition, because somehow I couldn't keep the mount in alignment so only every second shot was any good.

I ended up with about 23 shots that were stacked in PS.

See my previous shots of that region of the sky for a more detailed description of my equipment.

The bright "star" is Saturn who was lurking in the area of Sagittarius.
