Description

Lagoon Nebula (M8) is a large emission nebula in the constellation Sagittarius. It is located near the centre of our Milky Way Galaxy and estimated to be 4000-6000 light years away from Earth. With this image I wanted to highlight the details of the core region and the wisps of surrounding dark nebulosity.
