M8 and M20 22.5 hours

After John's recent image of this area I doubt that my image is of equal value but I think mine is a little different from his RGB version. This image contains SII Ha OIII and RGB data which amounts to 22.5 hours.

Essentially this is an NB image in Hubble Palette with an RGB wash over the NB data. My favourite part of the image is the Trifid. It looks a bit out of the ordinary but I quite like the look. For those interested I did not do any selective masking other than some sharpening on the detail sharpening layer. I suppose it could do with more magenta in the nebulae?

I am planning on doing some luminance data so I can do a more traditional version.
