Description

Lagoon and Trifid nebulae. I shot them recently with a 200mm lens.

This new pic is with a 400mm f/2.8 @ f/3.1.

Again, only at 10° altitude.

It was a little windy, and I was outside the rolloff so I could see low enough.

I used the best 49 of 65 images.

I was learning more PI tonight from Light Vortex tutorials. That really helped bring out the detail in the Lagoon.

Next up: make stars smaller.
