Trifid - M20

Well this is my longest capture to date, 5.5hours of data on M20. Processed with PixInSight. I'm having problems with meridian flips atm so data is from two nights on the East side. Just add it to the list of small dilemmas I'm slowing getting through, still have some tilt to address also ect.
But to be honest this is probably my best work to date, so I hope you like the view.
The skies here have been pretty smokey and cloudy at times. With HFR floating around 3.1 to 3.6 I currently cant get it better than that.
