Description

The Lagoon nebula (left) and Trifid nebula are a pair of bright emission nebulae in the southern constellation Sagittarius. Also known as Messier 8 (M8) and Messier 20 (M20).

This is my first image through a mono cam! This is a LRGB image taken with the ASI533MM Pro. This colorful area is an ideal target for LRGB imaging with emission, reflection & dark nebulae and of course the dense star field of the Milky Way. Not only that, there's also some open clusters (M21 - top right,  NGC 6530 - embedded in Lagoon nebula) & a globular cluster (NGC 6544 - left from middle) in this image!
