Description

The beautiful Trifid and Lagoon nebulas. It's been a long time since I tried to shoot those, but where I live they are pretty low on the horizon, so I don't have so many occasions to capture them. I leveraged some good weather to do it, despite them being very low (18 degrees). I didn't notice that one of my Hyperstar collimation screws wasn't tight, so collimation moved during the night, which has this ugly artifact effect on stars.

Anyway, I'm quite happy with this image!
