Hi everyone,

This is my first post on Myastroimages! I thought I would start off by submitting the last astroimage I took this month and enter the contest.

This is the "Sagittarius Trio" which includes M8, M20, and NGC 6559. I used the new Orion 80mm f/6 Triplet and Parsec 8300C. I also used the Tele Vue TRF-2008 0.8x reducer/flattener (thanks for the referral Doug!) which did well to sharpen the edges of the field. 24 x 8 minute shots, SD Mask combine in MaxIm DL.

Here's the higher resolution image:

Thanks,
