Description

This is a widefield image of the M8 (Lagoon Nebula) region in the Milky Way, taken with my astro-modified Canon 600D + Nikkor ED180 manual lens on my Star Adventurer mount. It is a single, tracked but unguided, 90s exposure at ISO800. As well as M8, M20 (Triffid Nebula) and the open cluster M21 are also seen.
