hi everyone

a little more processing of some imaging from July 2016

M20 - Trifid Nebula on the left a striking blue and red nebula and
M8 - the Lagoon Nebula on the right
The fuzzy yellow blob to the right of M8 is NGC6544, a globular cluster
The group of stars in the lower left corner is M21, an open cluster

This is 11 frames stacked in Deep Sky Stacker and edited in Lightroom
Canon 6D, 11 x 30 sec subs, 400mm @f5.6 and ISO3200

Lagoon Nebula 2016-07 11 x stacked-2sm.jpg
cheers
Dave
