En la constelación de Sagitario (Sagittarius) encontramos M8 o NGC 6523, M20 o NGC 6514 y NGC 6559. Las tres son gigantescas nubes de gas y polvo situadas a unos 5.000 a.l. de distancia donde se están formando estrellas a modo de una cuna estelar. En ellas, se encuentran estructuras como glóbulos de bok (nubes de gas y polvo colapsando para formar nuevas estrellas) y objetos Herbig-Haro, que aportan más evidencias de la formación estelar en curso. En el interior de M8, podemos apreciar estrellas muy jóvenes en la asociación OB, formando el cúmulo estelar NGC 6530

In the constellation Sagittarius (Sagittarius) we find M8 or NGC 6523, M20 or NGC 6514 and NGC 6559. All three are gigantic clouds of gas and dust located at about 5,000 a.l. away where stars are forming like a stellar cradle. In them are structures such as globules of bok (clouds of gas and dust collapsing to form new stars) and Herbig-Haro objects, which provide further evidence of ongoing star formation. Inside M8, we can see very young stars in the OB association, forming the star cluster NGC 6530

SLRs M8 843 heads up on the Matara line in Galle with train 8050 (06.30) service from Colombo fort.We had her for haulage to Galle where a quick tuk tuk took us across Galle to get her again, 21/2/17.
The Lagoon Nebula (Messier 8) is a bright emission nebula in the constellation Sagittarius. It is an active stellar nursery, an area of dust and gas in space where stars are formed. It lies about 5,000 light-years away, near the center of our Milky Way Galaxy in the rich starfields of Sagittarius.

Avevo gia provato delle riprese, ma la loro posizione molto bassa sull'orizzonte mi portavano ad abbandonare l'idea. Vista però la loro bassa magnitudine, ho dedicato loro alcune ore e devo dire che meritano davvero!
Quindi le ho elaborate ed eccovi due delle più belle nebulose estive! La Nebulosa Laguna o M8 e la Nebulosa Trifida o M20. La prima è una nebulosa ad emissione, la seconda, oltre ad avere una zona di emissione, possiede una componente a riflessione e una oscura, da qui il nome Trifida.
Le due nebulose sono visibili nella costellazione del sagittario e sono distanti dal nostro sole dai 4000 ai 5000 anni luce.

Metro-North Railroad's "Holiday Lights" train is seen stopped at Stamford Station, operating as train 6550 to New Haven. For the 2024 holiday season, M8 no. 9260 and seven siblings were decorated with lights and a special holiday logo to spread holiday cheer along all three East-of-Hudson lines!
I imaged over 3 nights in June 2024.
The Lagoon Nebula (M8) and the Trifid Nebula (M20) are in the constellation Sagittarius.
Both nebulae are estimated to be about 5,000 light years away from Earth, but the exact distance is uncertain.
The Lagoon Nebula is about 100 light years in diameter, while the Trifid Nebula is about 15 light years in diameter.
Appearance: The Lagoon Nebula is faintly visible to the naked eye in dark skies. The Trifid Nebula is a bright object that amateur astronomers love.
Composition: The Lagoon Nebula is an emission nebula and an Hydrogen-alpha region. The Trifid Nebula combines an open star cluster, an emission nebula, a reflection nebula, and a dark nebula.
Star formation: Both the Lagoon and Trifid Nebulae are stellar nurseries, where new stars are actively forming.
Discovery: The Trifid Nebula was discovered by French astronomer Charles Messier in 1764.

M8 - The Lagoon Nebula (NGC 6523) is a giant H II region in the constellation Sagittarius at 4,000-6,000 light years. The nebula contains several Bok globules (dark, collapsing clouds of protostellar material), the most prominent of which have been catalogued as B88, B89 and B296.

The Lagoon Nebula M8 is a diffuse nebula in the constellation of Sagittarius. It is one of the brightest regions of the sky and is visible even with the naked eye in fairly clear and dark skies.
One of the main features of the Lagoon Nebula is the presence of small black spots known as Bok globules, which are protostellar clouds.
The brightest region of the nebula, in the center of the Lagoon, is known as the Hourglass Nebula and is a region of intense star formation.
The Trifid Nebula M20 on the right is a well-known star-forming region and is made up of three different types of cosmic clouds: reddish emission nebulae, blue reflection nebulae (produced by dust that reflects starlight), and dark nebulae, including the central one divided into three dense bands of dust, hence the name Trifid.
NGC 6559 on the left has both red emission regions and bluish reflections
This image is the result of 2 shots, one broadband and one narrowband, a combo of 2 filters l-quef and l-para to amplify the signal and the detail of the nebulae

This is a shot I have been wanting to take of the whole area not just the two main Nebulas Lagoon & Triffid. Up the top is the chinese dragon nebula Look at the black line through it you can see the dragon.
I love the view of the surrounding area and all the very dark lanes. to me I see a teenage Ninja turtle for those old enough to remember. This is a two panel panorama shot between clouds and rain. I can say this has lived up to every thing I knew about the area. M8 M20 & NGC 6559

This large H II emission region is in the constellation Sagittarius and in dark skies is visible to the naked eye. At the brightest point in the center of the "lagoon" a very violent star Herschel 36 is creating massive stellar winds that aer ionizing gas and pushing dust into pillars causing new stars to form.
