M 20 at f 6.8

M20, the Trifid, 7 x 180 second sub frames using the f6.8 stetup described in the M13 image. had less luck with the flat frame on this one, and there
was a bit of low elevation sky gradient that is still to be dealt with... 2000mm is about perfect for this object...if I had turned it vertical that is... ;-))
