Description

Lagoon Nebula with Trifid Nebula and M21 in Sagittarius

Was able to capture these bright nebulae during the July 4th weekend at Castle Rocks State Park, ID

Used an astro modified Canon 77D with a Canon 200mm f/2.8 lens. The Trifid's blue reflective nebulosity and it's red emission source are clearly seen. And just to the left is the rich open cluster, M21.
