Its reasonably detailed for bad seeing. Short exposures may not have been the way to go as the longer subs would take more sharpening.

I like the colour you've gotten. The image could improve with some selective sharpening and some RGB stars.

But for my taste the feature of the Trifid that I find the most beautiful is the magic blue reflection nebula that surrounds the lovely reddy pink main nebula.

Narrowband does not show that lovely blue as its not O111 but reflection off of dust. So I personally always prefer HaLRGB versions of this object.

The hard part of this object always seems to be the background stars as there are black dust areas that seem to interfere with the stars and widefields of this area show a sea of golden stars as you are near the centre of the Milky Way here.
