The Trifid Nebula
A colorful shot I snapped of Messier 20 - The Trifid Nebula yesterday morning at Frosty Drew Observatory in Charlestown, Rhode Island, USA. The Trifid Nebula is a star forming region visibly featuring an emissions nebula (red), reflection nebula (blue), and a dark nebula. The Trifid Nebula is found in the constellation Sagittarius towards the central bulge of the Milky Way's galactic core, and resides at 5,200 light years distant.

Camera: Canon 60D MagicLantern
