Description

One of my all time favorites,The Trifid Nebula.

it was not easy to capture because its low in the South here,and with all the bad weather there was always clouds  on the horizon,so guiding was bad.
But i did some extra polar align routines so it turned out good for now.
Maybe i will try a SHO later.

The contrast of the redpink and the blue  is great to see,but also its a place where stars are born,there are allot of clusters of new stars.
