Description

Since it's 10 degrees F outside, with snow and ice covering my driveway.....why not think of summer!  This is some data I got, last year, from Deep Sky West's TOA 150 in Chile.  The original field is considerably larger but the data quality is very good, so I cropped it way down to just show the Trifid Nebula.  This is 20+ hours of data (LRGB subs@600s and H and O subs@1800s).  I just love the colors of this object and the nice dusty areas.....so THINK SUMMER!!!!
Hope ya like it!
Tom
