Lagoon Nebula (M8) in Sagittarius
The Lagoon Nebula, also known as M8 or NGC 6523, is a large emission nebula and active star-forming region in the constellation Sagittarius. Its glowing gas, dark dust lanes, and surrounding star field fill the wide frame. This image was captured with the compact DWARF 3 smart telescope.
