In pure RGB, I really like how you presented blue reflection nebulosity - what a gentle and beautiful sight. The versions that include narrowband nicely highlight interesting structures within the Trifid. I really cannot pick just one - all versions offer different interesting views of the Trifid and I like them all.

Really well done Andy - I hope weather gods will allow me to present something worthwhile in the not too distant future.
Thanks very much Suavi - I'm 100% confident you'll knock it out of the park

Lol - Goodonya Kevin - Seems that the Astrobin gods agree with you, it's a TP there already! Who would have thought broadband from the 'burbs would work?

I really like the RGB, lovely framing with NGC6531 in frame as well....plus it's nice to see some well resolved narrow field work....sure it takes effort, but rewarding images like this are hard to go past.
Cheers Peter, when one takes on a classic DSO such as this, it's a real challenge to hit the sweet spot when so many have done so well before!
Thanks for your encouragement and nice feedback

Thanks Nik - I'm not a PI user so I'll briefly outline my workflow for you.

Capture: Nebulosity/Dithered/PHD2/OAG
Alignment/Calibration/Stacking: Astropixel processor
Post Processing/Colourization: PSCC2019 using Marco's Method
Topaz Labs N/R

Hope that's useful
