Wow, this one was a lot of work due to clouds. Between Dec 21 & 26 I must have taken between 150 & 200 10 min pics. Of those I used 58 10 min exposures for this pic + darks. The object itself is only 12' x 8' in size. I was quite happy to get this final product with a 600mm telescope. It does look a lot like the Trifid Nebula found in the more southern skies. Ya, to space (and having a place to share pics)! Happy Holidays.
