Description

This is an image of the Lagoon and Trifid nebulae. It was Taken by Lester Christopher and post processed by myself and James Peirce. The site is located in the Uinta Mountains southeast of Salt Lake City. The elevation is just under 10,000 feet and it has close to a bortle 2 sky. It is a place where we can get data at targets 25 degrees above the horizon and consistently get good images.

Lester used a focal reducer and did calibration frames. I don’t recall which reducer it was, but will add it when I find out. 

Lester, James, and I started imaging together a few years ago. It has  helped each of us improve our images by adding whatever knowledge we have individually to the group.
