Lagoon Nebula & Trifid Nebula- Do look large

Lagoon Nebula & Trifid Nebula- Do look large
While we did not get every thing working correctly this is a huge step forward 98% of the computer running of the mount and camera worked perfectly. The one that did not work was the Guiding which will give longer times.

This was 100 shot 80Sec each as it was a long day cleaning and going to be just as long today. The net result a very big step forward in detail. This is the first look at The D810 as a Deep space camera so far I like it .

Enjoy a rare clear night.
PIP first look with old tracker.

George its all slowly starting to fall into place, this was all done in Photoshop no big bucks program and there is bucket loads of the out there. I am happy with the detail and know guiding only makes it better. STAY tuned.
