Description

The Lagoon Nebula (M8) and the Trifid Nebula (M20) are both in the constellation Sagittarius. While these gas nebulae only rise a few degrees above the horizon in Europe, they can be photographed comfortably at their zenith from Namibia. This image shows a high resolution widefield taken with my Takahashi FSQ106 Astrograph and QHY600M Camera.

Title: New version after doing a Video about it

Description: I have created a Video about Image processing on my YouTube Channel, and I chose the RAW data of this image to go through all the steps. The final result was more pleasing to me.
