- The double star on the PussyCat's nose is very well resolved into a double double.
- The Herbig-Haro jet is crystal clear and sharp.
- Even the reflection nebulosity has snuck through the OIII filter and is there.
- The comparison with the old image is compelling.
I think the mushrooms in your pierogi might be golden caps Suavi...
Certainly I have ventured off the beaten path with Trifid this season

Wonderful work.
Best,

Thank you Mike and Trish.
I tweaked the image a bit and I think I got all I could out of my data at this stage in my journey as an amateur imager, so it is time to start planning the next target.
Thank you Ben, Andy and Rodney - much appreciate your comments
It was a really challenging object to represent in pure narrowband while including surrounding fainter nebulosity. No doubt Trifid looks best in a familiar red and blue when done very well like in Andy's recent images, but my goal was to do just narrowband and I was keen to try including NII, so there you go.
My next image might be just HaRGB for a change and because I really like Lee's recent HaRGB Lagoon. That is unless I will yet again indulge in pierogi spiked with golden cups mushrooms
Been cool watching you tackle this (impossible ) project Suavi ...some interesting combos and certainly plenty of nice details buuuuut I'm afraid, you have only reinforced my view that the Trifid just doesn't suit NB Still a worthwhile project and certainly not a criticism as such of your work, loved watching you progress with it

No worries Mike - I nearly threw in the towel a few times during this project. Collecting NII was a bit of waste of time, and although I was disappointed that I lacked skills to make narrowband Trifid more eye-pleasing, overall I am quite happy with the final result.
Next project will be HaRGB
And I think I now have eliminated flexing issues :-)

Hey but how good was your Helix last year!!! that worked!

Thank you Mike - yeah, it was my first image where I hit a century with total integration. Now awaiting clear skies to continue with my new HaRGB image of...that's a secret

We had a good run of clear nights there for a while. Back to normal cloud now unfortunately.
Thank you Kevin. Hopefully we well get a few clear nights soon, unfortunately the big bright one will be up too shining splendidly in his full glory.
