Description

M20 & M8; aka Trifid & Lagoon nebula
(HOO @ approx 345mm FL, redone)
Note: I was only 6 months in this hobby when I took this data, hence the stars are not round and are very messy, but the BlurXT tool made the final result much better
June 2022 data from our Bortle5 backyard, redone with latest workflow!
Only 20 x 180sec (one hour) of light subs
This time, stacked in APP (Astro Pixel Processor), repost processed in Pixinsight but this time added BlurXt. Final touches using Paintshop pro for clarity and vibrancy, and for Stars Spiked plugin.
Equipment used: WO Z73 doublet apo on GEM28 mount with GPS, 0.8x FR FF, ZWO 183MC Pro main cam, ZWO 120mini guidecam, ASI Air Pro, Optolong L enhance filter, dew heaters, and all powered by Jackery packs. Full resolution, coordinates, and equipment details on Astrobin:
