Hi everyone. Well I finally found a site with a nice Southern exposure only 2 minutes away in a school ground.
As you know, the near full moon was near the meridian but I managed to pull it off and got this result.
Here's the first shot...M20 aka the Trifid Nebula.
This was taken with my Original Orion Starshoot and my SkyWatcher 650mm F5 reflector. 15 Exposures @ 100 seconds, guided with PHD.

Scopes: Meade SC-8AT w UHTC

lots of wobble last night in BC. Is it me or you seems to be a bit out of focus or the PEC is not perfect.

I did a digital noise removal and added an intentional blurr followed by a sharpening. I'll look into sharpening it up a tad more.
