The Trifid and Lagoon nebulas
The Trifid nebula (M20/NGC 6514) at top with the huge Lagoon nebula (NGC 6523) below with several smaller HII regions over at bottom left.
This picture is a mosaic of two panes, each pane being an integration of multiple subframes shot with a William Optics Zenithstar 103 scope and QHY168C OSC camera; an STC multi-spectra LP filter was used. The upper pane is an integration of 236 x 180s frame, the lower pane is 183 x 180s.
Imagiing was managed via Sequence Generator Pro and PHD2, all post-processing was carried out in PixInsight.
Observed from Prachinburi, Thailand
