Lagoon Nebula - Trifid Nebula

Lagoon Nebula - Trifid Nebula
150-600 mm lens on the tracker. the new way of finding South I got a 1 min shot here is 50 min Of shot time with all the Back files as well. I am finally quite happy to go out at night and take photos.

I was not able to use the Laser pointer as we had French photographers who came to WA to enjoy our night skies. It took me 4 shot at 150 mm to find them. Enjoy.

PIP is the milky way view find the Nebula's or look at the next photo.

I have to say for the first time I feel like i an finally getting some where the jump from 10 seconds to 1 min. If all I did was this the night was worth it. I can sit back and know my nights out are of some real value now I did not see if I was able to go longer time I just took the one min. Three black clear cold nights in a row I go at least the clearest of clouds. Enjoy the Starry west.

The colours that come up with longer exposure times are just amazing!

I have had the lens calibrated as it was off as you see here just not quite sharp. I am clouded and rained in. As my set up gets better and I have now build my own brackets for set up just go to get a chance to try it. I am much like a cat on a hot tin roof. Glad you like it been a huge learning curve but enjoying the challenge.
