OK, the Trifid again, too. My last color image of this was taken with the 6" without a coma corrector, and it showed. This one is much better. Shrunken to 60% of original size.

Wow! It almost looks 3-D! I'm really surprised, too, how much color and detail you're able to get at your location with that Astronomik filter.
The filter helps alot, I think. Thanks for the nice comments. I still may like our united effort on this object better.
Oh, and, I should add, I had the filter mislabeled. The IDAS-LPS2 is a Hutech filter. My mistake. It really is a great help in my light-polluted skies.
