M20_Trifid_Nebula_9x30sec_f1_8_DSI_III_040508_Linden_C2.jpg
M20 Trifid Nebula by Gerry Aarts213 viewsOne of my better nebulae images from Linden Observatory 04/05/2008. Distance estimated at 5200 lightyears. Red emmission nebula and blue reflection nebula shows a wonderful contrast. The star colours are also amazing, a myriad beautiful yellow and blue stars reveal themselves in this image. 9x30 seconds combined images. Celestron GPS11 with f1.8 Hyperstar lens, Meade DSI III camera.gerry aarts

Side panels692 viewsThe above shot shows the wedge sides under construction. To ensure that the side panels were identical during the shaping phase, the 2 pieces of plywood were first screwed together.

I then added the altitude / declination adjustment slot. My main observing location (home in Sydney) is at Latitude 33 Degrees, 45 Minutes South, so to allow for my "infrequent" local travels to dark sky locations outside of the Sydney basin I cut enough play in the slots for 29 - 37 Degrees Latitude.
