Description

This has been my last visit to this pair of nebulae, which I have to admit are the objects that I have photographed the most in these years of hobby.



The Laguna is an emission nebula, this nebula includes a few globules of Bok (clouds of gas and dust in the process of collapsing to form stars).

M20 The Trifid Nebula is a small emission nebula in the constellation Sagittarius. The nebula's name means "divided into three lobes," since the most prominent feature of this nebula is its three bright lobes separated by dark lines of dust.
