Beautiful deep space scene. I like the bluish cast off to the right of the nebula.

Very nice, great color and structure

Very nice start on this the Hα details are impressive. Will be excited to see after more OIII is added to start to bring up the reflection nebula portion a little more. The large scale of the object really brings out the subtle details, this is going to be a really nice image when you have it completely finished!

Super nice detail Carlos! Trifid is one of my favorites, so I am enjoying this one a lot. It's hard to believe it can get better, but I know it will.
