      Description

      The Triffid
      Since my first visit to Tivoli Namibia in 2006, 15 years before I setup my remote observatory there I was fascinated by M20 the Trifid nebula.
      Not sure how often I imaged it over the years but to me it never gets boring.
      This time I went a bit deeper with over 7h of luminace and an additional 4h of Ha.
      The seeing was very good especially for the luminance, all frammes pretty close to 1".
      Hope you like it.
      Wolfgang
