Description
Again I visit the amazing Trifid Nebula. This time without the moon spoiling the night sky. All things being equal, I do like my first version of Messier 20 [link] but I wanted to do better.

I'd still like to do even better than what I'm uploading here, but I feel rather good about it. Every night, I seem to be able to pull more out of the telescopes here at the SFASU Observatory. The guide port on the camera is apparently shorted or some-sort, so it explains why I haven't been able to get the auto-guiding to work.

Anywhoo... I'm currently waiting on another set of images to download from the observatory, so here I will post my latest version of the Trifid Nebula.

Enjoy!
