Description

This image was taken over two nights in late May with an ASI2600mm Pro through a Explore Scientific 127ED using a Hutch field flattener on an EQ6-R.

The image comprises:

L:    29 x 300s
R:   20 x 180s
G:   20 x 180s
B:   20 x 180s

Total integration time was 5 hours and 25 minutes.  The image was processed in PixInsight and tweaked in Photoshop.

I can't let a summer season pass without a shot at the Trifid. It's one of the most popular DSO's for good reason.
