This is image #37 in long term project to photograph the complete Messier catalog. For limited acquisition time I am pretty happy with this one, whole Sagittarius region is just amazing.

Four images LRGB 300 seconds each, as usual satellites fly through my subs (if anyone need help ever locating satellites please ask) but I seem to have found method to fix the trails. There is some weird artifact band at bottom left, sorting out how to fix.
