Trifid Nebula - M20
The "Trifid" nebula, M20 & NGC 6514, is a bright nebula about 4300 light years away in the constellation Sagittarius.
Imaged through a 8" SCT at f6.3 using a QHY268M camera, in RGB (natural colour, but with added H-Alpha, OIII, SII and H-Beta narrowband signal to capture the fainter nebulosity surrounding the main nebula as well as to extract more details.
The total integration time for this image was 33 hours and 39 minutes.
