Description

Wide field image of the Lagoon Nebula (M8) and Trifid Nebula (M20) in narrowband (Hydrogen-alpha, Oxygen-III and Sulphur-II) mapped to the Hubble Palette. These nebulae are located in the constellation Sagittarius, and are relatively bright compared to most (not all) others of similar composition. That makes them nice targets for our short summer nights, with a total integrated exposure time of just 135 minutes (2.25 hours).
