Description

Trifid Nebula or M20 and NGC 6514 is an H II region in the north-west of Sagittarius. I can not wait for a couple more months to go by so I can image this object with my CCD camera. This image was captured in 2018 using my modified Canon T4i with a DIY cooler. I love the contrast of the emission nebula and the reflection nebula.
