Description

I was at the NC coast over the weekend, and conditions were better than I've seen in a long time. This image includes M17 (Omega Nebula), M16 (Eagle Nebula), and M20 (Trifid Nebula). I wasn't familiar with NGC 6604 (left side of the image), but that looks like a nice one to come back to one day with a longer focal length scope.
