Description

The colorful Trifid Nebula captured from my observatory on a sleepless early morning this past Monday :-) Found 5400 light years away within the constellation of Sagittarius, the combination of red emission and blue reflection nebulae make this stellar nursery a favorite among stargazers. Adding to the scene, is a pretty cluster of young blue stars. The image is a compilations of 20 - two minute sub-exposures taken just before dawn from rural Taliaferro County, Georgia.
