Featuring the intricate core of the Lagoon Nebula (Messier8) and its neighbor the Trifid (Messier20) a large star-forming region in the constellation Sagittarius processed in a mix of Foraxx and HSO. The Lagoon Nebula is an emission nebula about 5,000 light-years away and roughly 130 light-years in length composed primarily of hydrogen and containing many Bok globules on their way to becoming protostars. The Trifid's name is attributed to its three-lobed appearance. Messier 20 consists of several objects, an emission nebula, a reflection nebula, a dark nebula and an open cluster. The nebula has a magnitude of 6.3 and is approximately 5,200 light-years away.

Carlos... I am deleting my Lagoon nebula now... ;)

Wow... you have set such a high standard on the Lagoon. I honestly have never seen it look this good!

I think I will need to image this some more, and I think I will be using this image of yours as a guide.

Cheers Jim! Too kind ! :D

Not bad for the little Sharpstar. Was surprised at the amount of star color I was able to pull out having shot with NB filters.

carlos,

Wonderful job, especially this framing of the 2 objects together. That Foraxx is nice for sure. I will head off to your AB version to get all the other details! Impressive!
