Description

This is a wide angle image of an area of the Milky Way above the core region. The areas of nebulosity are the Lagoon (Messier 8) and Triffid (Messier 20) Nebula. They are embedded in the galactic disk and are located between 4000-5000 light years from Earth.

This image was taken with a Canon 80D through a Rokinon 135mm f/2 lens set at f/2.8. It was mounted on a Celestron AVX equatorial mount for 94 30" guided images at ISO 1600.

These were stacked and processed in Astro Pixel Processor and finished in Photoshop.
