Trifid Nebula - After a three month break due to bad weather, illness and injury, it was great to get under the stars again last night! This time I tried one of the most popular winter winter targets: Messier 20, the Trifid Nebula. This emission/reflection nebula pair sits in Sagittarius towards the Milky Way core at a distance of 5200 light years.Telescope: 8“ f4 Newtonian Camera: ZWO ASI1600-MCC Mount: NEQ6 40x5min - 3:20hrs total exposure Processed in Pixinsight and Lightroom -- source link
