Messier 20 Trifid Nebula
Neat summer target I've never imaged before because it is very low against my local horizon. The red portion is an emission nebula; the blue a reflection nebula; and the lobes are formed by a dark nebula -- all fueled by hot young stars.
Tech Stuff: Borg 71FL/ZWO ASI1600MC/IDAS LPS-V4 filter. 35 minutes of unguided 4 second exposures captured with SharpCap. Processed in PixInsight; Topaz Denoise AI; ACDSee Gemstone 12. From my yard in Yonkers, NY SQM-L 18.8 (Bortle 7).
