Description

The colorful Trifid Nebula captured from my observatory on a sleepless early morning this past Sunday :-) Found 5400 light years away within the constellation of Sagittarius, the combination of red emission and blue reflection nebulae make this stellar nursery a favorite among stargazers. The image is a compilations of 38 - 90 sec sub-exposures taken just before dawn from rural Taliaferro County, Georgia.
