The brightest part of the Milky Way, with the Lagoon Nebula and the Trifid Nebula, as seen through a 135 mm telephoto lens. This wide-angle photo shows the size and location of the the image above in the night sky.
9 light frames, 4 dark frames stacked in ImagesPlus with editing in Photoshop. Taken morning of 6-24-17.
A mosaic panorama of the rich Galactic Centre region of the Milky Way in Scorpius and Sagittarius, from Messier 16, at left, to the False Comet region, at right. This is the most spectacular region of sky, with its dense bright star clouds contrasting with the swirls of dark dusty nebulas.
The region includes the Lagoon Nebula, left of centre, and the Catâs Paw Nebula, right of centre, and the large Pipe Nebula, at top centre. The actual centre of the Milky Way lies at the centre of the frame, though thr true centre is out of sight hidden by dust clouds.
This is a mosaic of 3 segments, each 5 x 2-minute exposures with the Rokinon 85mm lens at f/2.8 and filter-modified Canon 5D MkII at ISO 2500. Tracked on the iOptron Sky Tracker. Shot from Tibuc Gardens Cottage at Coonabarabran, Australia, April 2017.
i could enjoy imaging of the object during the residual time at the last night in Atacama Desert Chile. Ring-shaped vast hydrogen-alpha emission was clear near the center like Flag of Turkey.

Shot while fending off hordes of mosquitos and constantly checking over my shoulder for a bear that had been spotted in the area within the past 24 hours. Thankfully, no bear - only photons and bug repellent. This was from one of my favorite sites near Alder Springs, CA, on the night of 2017-06-25.

For 28 years, NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has been delivering breathtaking views of the universe. Although the telescope has made more than 1.5 million observations of over 40,000 space objects, it is still uncovering stunning celestial gems.
The latest offering is this image of the Lagoon Nebula to celebrate the telescope’s anniversary. Hubble shows this vast stellar nursery in stunning unprecedented detail.
At the center of the photo, a monster young star 200,000 times brighter than our Sun is blasting powerful ultraviolet radiation and hurricane-like stellar winds, carving out a fantasy landscape of ridges, cavities, and mountains of gas and dust. This region epitomizes a typical, raucous stellar nursery full of birth and destruction.

Data captured earlier this year, only processed now as the cloudy weather starts. Experimenting with a different processing technique, and highlighting the dust clouds (consisting mainly of Hydrogen), with star reduction so that the gas and dust stand out.
The Lagoon Nebula (M8, Messier 8 or NGC 6523), is a giant interstellar cloud in the constellation Sagittarius. M8 is estimated to be between 4000 - 6000 light-years from Earth in the Milky Way Galaxy, and is classified as an emission nebula.
About Emission nebulae:
Emission nebulae are glowing clouds of interstellar gas which have been excited by some nearby energy source, usually a very hot star. The red light seen in this picture is glowing hydrogen captured in the Hydrogen-Alpha (Hα) Infrared wavelength of light at 656nm.

As nebulosa da Lagoa (em vermelho na direita) e da Trífida (vermelha e azul na esquerda) situam-se na constelação do Sagitário. Tirei esta foto durante o 6º Encontro Brasileiro de Astrofotografia, perto de Alto Paraíso de Goiás, no dia 8 de julho de 2013.
The Lagoonl Nebula (red, to the right) and Trifid Nebula (blue and red, to the left) are located in the constellation Sagitarius. I took this photo during the 6st Brazilian Astrophotography Meeting, near Alto Paraiso de Goias, midwestern Brazil, in July 8th, 2013.
Details: Canon 1000D coupled to an apochromatic telescope mounted on a Skywatcher EQ-5 Pro Synscan. Exposure data: F=600mm, f/7.5, ISO 1600, T=90s. 10 lights, 15 darks and 17 flats. Processed in PixInsight.
The Lagoon Nebula (also known as Messier Object 8 (M8) and NGC 6523) is a giant interstellar cloud, classified as an emission nebula and H II region, in the constellation Sagittarius. At an estimated distance of 4,100 light-years, the Lagoon is one of only two star-forming nebulae faintly visible to the naked eye from mid-northern latitudes. In binoculars, the Lagoon is a distinct oval cloudlike patch with a definite core, like a pale celestial flower. The nebula has a fragile star cluster superimposed on it, making this one of the leading celestial sights of summer night skies.

Taken at 11,000 feet up Trail Ridge Road in Rocky Mountain National Park. This is a mosaic of 7 different frames, each with eight exposures totalling 16 minutes, so about 112 minutes total exposure on this one. I used a modified Canon Xsi at ISO 1600 wtih a 50mm f/1.4 lens at f/2.8 riding piggyback on the telescope. The colors changed a bit on me between the shots - I think they tended to get a little more red as the Milky Way slid down behind the horizon. That's the lagoon nebula near the bottom center.
The shape of Gegenschein looked not round but irregular.

A panoramic mosaic of bright starclouds and dark stardust in the rich region of the Milky Way around the centre of the Galaxy in Sagittarius.
This panorama extends from the tail of Scorpius at far right to Serpens at far left, with the bright Sagittarius Starcloud near the direction of the galactic centre at centre. The Milky Way here is populated by a rich collection of nebulas and star clusters, including - from right to left - the very red Catâs Paw and NGC 6337 in the tail of Scorpius at right, the pink Lagoon and Trifid Nebulas in Sagittarius (left of centre), and the Swan and Eagle Nebulas in Serpens at far left. The Small Sagittarius Starcloud, M24, is at left, flanked above and below by the star clusters M23 and M25. The star clusters M6 and M7 are at right of centre in Scorpius, with M7 lost in the starclouds.
The bright âcloudsâ are masses of stars. The dark regions are obscuring regions of interstellar dust hiding the more distant stars. The actual centre of the Galaxy near the centre of the frame is not visible here in this or any visible light image as it is hidden by dust.
The nebulas at right in Scorpius are much redder as they are obscured by dark interstellar dust which absorbs the shorter blue wavelengths which add to the pink colours of the other nebulas which glow in red and blue wavelengths of hydrogen alpha and beta as well as cyan oxygen III wavelengths.
The mosaic runs along the galactic equator. I present this as a horizontal landscape image with north to the left and south to the right. This is the way you generally see this area in the southern hemisphere. But in the northern hemisphere this region of sky is seen running vertically from south to north, so the mosaic should be turned 90° CW to match that view. However, I shot this from Australia, on April 13, 2016 on a near perfect night for astronomy.
This is a mosaic of 6 segments, each segment being a stack of 4 x 3-minute exposures at f/2.8 with the 135mm Canon L-Series telephoto lens, tracked on the AP 400 mount, and with the filter-modified Canon 5D MkII at ISO 1600. Stacking and stitching in Photoshop CC 2015.

My First astrophoto with my new vintage lens
The Lagoon Nebula (M8, Messier 8 and NGC 6523) is a gigantic interstellar cloud in the Sagittarius constellation. It is classified as an emission nebula), whose ionized gases, mainly hydrogen, emit radiation mainly in the wavelength range of visible red light.
Lagoon Nebula was discovered by Giovanni Hodierna before 1654. Viewed through binoculars, the nebula appears as a distinct oval blob with a defined core. Superimposed on the nebula is a small open cluster of stars. It has an apparent magnitude of 6.0 and is located 4,850 light-years from Earth.

The Lagoon Nebula is a giant interstellar cloud in the constellation of Sagittarius. The nebula is composed of hydrogen gas. The gas glows due to excitation from the radiation of stars within and nearby.
M8 lies 5,000 light years distant within our Milky Way.
This image was captured under high desert skies near Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA with a telescope of 12" aperture at f/8 and an electrically-cooled CCD camera.

First light for my new Boren Simon 8" f/2.8 PowerNewt astrograph!
Acquired for use on wide field deep-sky objects.
It has taken quite a while to sort out the setup for this new telescope, but I think it is getting there. Still some issues with coma in the corners that I am trying to work out. Still, I am encouraged by the results so far.
This is only my 2nd attempt at a narrowband image, and is really only a "rough draft" as it includes only minimal post processing.

This is a 'Test' shot and so should be viewed in that way.
Astrometry :
My 80ED has a field of view just wide enough to take in both M8 and M20--but I might try this with my 70-300 lens sometime to give them a bit more border (that is, if I can rig up a way to use that lens on my mount somehow)
