Description

Taken on the final night of my little trip down to New Mexico. Had some star trouble again but despite that the rest of the image looks great. The color is bright and vibrant and there is lots of clear detail in the nebula itself. I think it could have been framed a little better or perhaps even shot a little wider but I do love the detail you can see around the core area of the nebula. The Lagoon Nebula is a classic and I am glad I got the oppuritunity to shoot it.
