M20 Trifid Nebula ngc6514
M20 or The Trifid Nebula NGC 6514 is an emission nebula in the constellation Sagittarius. Distance is approximately 4,100 light-years from Earth. Finally a break in the weather allowed me to take this shot with the ED127. Guided with PHD and the guide scope was mounted on top of the ED127. The USB cable was not tied back properly and I believe this has caused some flexure.
