Description

The three Messier album objects M8, M20 and M21 lie in this wide field view of the brightest nebulosity in the Sagittarius star cloud. About 5000 light years away, the nebulosity can be seen extending through the bright star fields of the galactic centre.

This is the first test of the Nikon D810A under reasonably dark skies.
