Description

I think that every amateur astronomer, even if not interested in visual observation, would really enjoy to look at this area through a telescope under a very dark sky. I observed the Trifid and Lagoon Nebula with a 25" Dobsonian with the Paracorr type 2 and some Ethos Oculars, with and without the UHC filters, and that view was unbelievable, whereas my picture is not unbelievable  but I really needed to record somehow that moment.
