Description

Continuing my long focal attempts at bright targets, here is the Trifid nebula.

Shot with Astrodon Ha 5nm and OIII 3nm. The Ha data was pretty good but the OIII was shot in less than perfect skies.. This target stays very low for me and gets behind trees after about 3 hours. I have to start on this target well before astronomical twilight hits.

I may try to do a SHO version of this if I get a chance to shoot SII on this target. I dont like the bi color palette in general but this will have to do.

Edit: Added 19x5m SII data (snagged it right before a rain front ) and reprocessed it as SHO .I think it shows more structure than the straight bicolor getting overwhelmed with Ha.
