New Image: Widefield M20 and M21

This is more re-processing of old data that I had forgotten/given up on. With the scope and mount in for repairs, why not? Once again, just like my M31 shot, I am quite amazed at how well this came out. I have really learned a lot about processing in the last two years. This is a 21:21:36 minute RGB taken with a Takahashi FSQ and SBIG ST-10XE.

This is a 50% reduced image; a full-resolution version can be found here:

Enjoy, and as always comments and criticisms welcome.

Jeff, all those dim red stars in the field. Are they really red, or is it just a reciprocity type effect due to their dimness?

Beautiful image, Jeff. The color in the Trifid is really sweet. And all those stars!
