Description

Took a stab on a new moon night to try and get the Lagoon and Trifid. They sit super low at best where I am, and on this particular night I think they were 18 degrees above the horizon. But I headed outside of town and had a nice unobstructed view south with no city lights, so even though it was technically Bortle 3, the sky there was really more like Bortle 2.
