Description

Lagoon Nebula (Messier 8) and Trifid Nebula (Messier 20) on 07.08.2016 with Canon EOS 700Da cooled (RGB, 32x 120 sec, ISO 1600, cooled: -15°C, reworked.

Lagoon Nebula was only 11° above the horizon. That is the maximum here!

Trifid Nebula only 13° above the horizon, that is also the maximum height.

With the existing light pollution, this is an extraordinary challenge to take astrophotos.
