Trifid Nebula with my Newtonian 8inch

Hello there,

I am French and I am an amateur astronomer. :ssmile:
Even though I know I have no chance of one day being published on APOD, here is my photo of the Trifid Nebula (Messier 20).

I used a telescope 8inch (200/1000) and my DSLR 1100D Rebel T3 with Astrodon filter.
I'm glad to see this forum, the most beautiful dream would be to discover on the APOD :oops:

The NLC display in Stockholm last night was just incredible and covered half of the sky with electric blue filaments.
I stitched together 24 exposures taken with my fisheye lens into a Little Planet-projection so I could also include the beautiful summer cityskape.
Normaly the almost full Moon would have stolen the show, but a night like this it looked quite lonely on the southern horizon.
