Trifid Nebula on fluffy soft bed of surround Ha

Back to imaging on the Refractor for a bit while I sort out some teething issues with my Meade ACF.

This is straight flatenner on the APM130/780 F6 LZOS.

I've imaged the Trifid before in OSC, and in LRGB and even in narrowand HOO (silly), so I thought I'd do LRGB but also noting there's a fair bit of background Ha that I would also do a couple hours on that (which I sorta needed as the Moon was being a pain...bad moon!).

This over a few nights trying to avoid worst of the moon as noted... really needs more Blue and L, but had enough for now and it's cloudy for a few nights.

Stacked in APP and processed in Startools...marvelous Narrowband Accent feature in Startools 1.8 that allowed me to drop in and tweak the Ha channel.

Tweaked to taste in starless form and re-adding stars in PS.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
