Description

Here we have what I’ll call The Sagittarius quadruplet, these 4 main nebulae are M8 lagoon nebula (top left) which connects to IC4685 (top right), M20 the trifid nebula (middle) and lower right is sh2-34 

This was taken from my backyard with bortle 5 skies, it was also the second imaging session with the Sharpstar 61edph ii with the reducer/flattener, I still have some fine tuning to do on the backspacing but I’m quite happy with the result for 2 hrs of each Sii Ha and Oiii.
