Hi, seems to be a Trifid kind of day! 
This is a composite image: the widefield scene is 9x300 seconds with an unmodified Canon 300D digital camera. The detail of the M20 nebula is 60 min. 1x1 Lum. and 30-30-30 RGB 2x2 with a SBIG 402 ME with internal color filter wheel.
I manually scaled, rotated and pasted the nebula into the 300D shot with Photoshop Elements (The basic version that came with the camera).
Both portions of the image were taken with a TEC APO 140.
Thanks for any comments! Jim
