A slightly-difficult object to detect from my light polluted skies, but a facinating object in my 6". With the use of adverted vision and unusually darker skies, I managed to glimpse the brighter part of the nebula, and could just detect the dark dust lanes around the brighter centre. The Trifid delighted me in its subtle detail, especially with the dark dust lanes. Easy to locate thanks to the prominant star grouping near the intersection point of the dark dust lanes and its proximity to The Lagoon. I could not detect any of the reflection nebula, nor was much of the nebulosity visible in my 10x50 binoculars.
