Description

Six hours of integration in two summer nights. You can find this nebula in the sagittarius constellation and its name, trifid, refers to the fact that there are three main regions in there: an emission nebula, a reflection nebula and an absorption nebula. Due to this, I chose to image it with a combination of Ha and RGB filters. Probably I will try to reprocess it again in the future because I am not really happy with the outcome.
