Lagoon and Trifid Nebulae
In the constellation Sagittarius, seemingly in the middle of the Milky Way, are two bright nebulae.
The Lagoon Nebula, the bright one lower in the frame, is a gigantic glowing cloud.
The Trifid Nebula (smaller, higher in the frame) is a composite of three nebula and an open star cluster. An emission nebula emits its own light (red), a reflection nebula (blue) and a dark nebula that looks like black lines on the glowing red (discernible by zooming in).
The Rebel T71 was modified for astrophotography.
