Description

IC4685, at the foot of the more famous Lagoon. 5,000 ly away in Sagittarius.

Challenging to capture because, like the Trifid, it has both emission and reflection areas and is in a crowded neighbourhood. For reference I included a widefield of the same area from a couple of months ago as well as the purely HSO version.. This is a RGBHSO combination.

Imaged from my backyard.
