Hiding among the clouds are the clouds of our own Galaxy. There are at least 6 recognizable deep space objects (DSO's) and one from our own solar system visible in (the large version) of this photo. Mouse over the photo to see them.
I took this photos outside of my hometown tonight.
Sagittarius (el arquero, símbolo Sagittarius.svg, Unicode ♐) es una constelación del zodíaco, generalmente representada como un centauro sosteniendo un arco. Sagittarius se encuentra entre Scorpius al oeste y Capricornus al este.
Las estrellas más brillantes forman un asterismo fácilmente reconocible, «la Tetera», cuya asa está formada por las estrellas ζ Sagittarii, τ Sagittarii, σ Sagittarii y φ Sagittarii, la tapadera por φ Sagittarii, λ Sagittarii y δ Sagittarii, el cuerpo de la Tetera lo forman ζ Sagittarii, φ Sagittarii, δ Sagittarii y ε Sagittarii, siendo el «pitorro» las estrellas δ Sagittarii, ε Sagittarii —la estrella más brillante de la constelación— y γ Sagittarii.
Sagittarius is a constellation of the zodiac, the one containing the galactic center. Its name is Latin for the archer, and its symbol is Sagittarius.svg (Unicode U+2650 ♐), a stylized arrow. Sagittarius is commonly represented as a centaur drawing a bow. It lies between Ophiuchus to the west and Capricornus to the east.
The constellation's brighter stars (from left to right on the map: τ, ζ, σ, φ, λ, ε, δ, and γ2 Sagittarii) form an easily recognizable asterism known as 'the Teapot'. The stars δ Sgr (Kaus Media), ε Sgr (Kaus Australis), ζ Sgr (Ascella), and φ Sgr form the body of the pot; λ Sgr (Kaus Borealis) is the point of the lid; γ2 Sgr (Alnasl) is the tip of the spout; and σ Sgr (Nunki) and τ Sgr the handle.[1][2]
The constellation as a whole is often depicted as having the rough appearance of a stick-figure archer drawing its bow, with the fainter stars providing its horse body.
Detail of M20 from this shot. I think it came out nicer than M8--being a little higher in the sky helped a bit.
A high light pollution area doesn't stop me to shot this image.
Using some techniques and after a few years of experience and friends' suport I can bring for all of my friends this wonderful part of our galaxy and the Universe.
I didn't begin the serious post-processing.
The post-processing was done quickly in my smartphone using Adobe Lightroom Mobile.
Any doubt about how to get image like this please tell me in the comments!
Enjoy!

The Lagoon Nebula (left) (Messier 8 or M8 and NGC 6523) is a giant nebula within the Safittarius Cloud. It is composed of gas, dust and plasma, the components described as an intersteller cloud. The Trifid Nebula (Messier 20 or M20 and NCG 6514) can be seen to the upper right of the Lagoon Nebula. Its name is derived from the three parts seen. The faint blue cloud above the Trifid Nebula is a reflection nebula reflecting blue colors from the emissions of the star Rigel.
The effective lens length for this image is 672mm.

The wind was causing a little bit of problems, so you can see the stars are not perfectly round.
The Sagittarius Cloud of the Milky Way rising behind a few of the cars of Car Henge. The cloud includes the Lagoon Nebula below the smaller Trifid Nebula.
I decided to play around a bit with the new Topaz Software ReMask. The software is new for me. Here is an example of combining two images where rather intricate cutouts are required.

The Lagoon and the Trifid Nebulae show brightly in this 8 picture stack of the Sagittarius Constellation in the Milky Way. I took this near Karval, Colorado, essentially a dark park, at 0346 on the night of June11-June12, 2013. This night photography sure causes a loss of sleep. At my age, I need a couple of days to fully recover before I can go back out and lose sleep again.
The camera sees what the eyes cannot. The eye has rods and cones for vision. Cones are used to percieve color, rods are used for lower light vision and hence cannot grasp the full range of colors. Therefore we are unable to see the full beauty of the Milky Way but our camera can.
I stacked eight images in Photoshop, aligning each one over the top of the other. I used ISO 1600 at f2.8 and exposed for 45 seconds.
This image combines 678 separate images taken by NSF–DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory in just over seven hours of observing time. Combining many images in this way clearly reveals otherwise faint or invisible details, such as the clouds of gas and dust that comprise the Trifid nebula (top) and the Lagoon nebula, which are several thousand light-years away from Earth. More information about this image is available on RubinObservatory.org.

Edited European Southern Observatory image of an infrared view of the Trifid Nebula.
Original caption: This small extract from the VISTA VVV survey of the central parts of the Milky Way shows the famous Trifid Nebula to the right of centre. It appears as faint and ghostly at these infrared wavelengths when compared to the familiar view at visible wavelengths. This transparency has brought its own benefits — many previously hidden background objects can now be seen clearly. Among these are two newly discovered Cepheid variable stars, the first ever spotted on the far side of the galaxy near its central plane.

Trifid Nebula from Montebello OSP at the end of July.
This is a selection from a larger image which includes M8 as well. Wanted to feature this picture as a contribution to the Cloudy Nights DSLR astrophoto forum competition for July 2014 for the M20 subject.
Taken with the Pentax K10D (modified and cooled) DSLR on the Stellarvue SV4 telescope. Guided with Orion SSAG on the Stellarvue SV70ED. IDAS HEUIB II filter was used along with the SSF6 flattener.
Stack of 6 subexposures of 1200 seconds each for a total of 6 hours and 20 minutes of integration over 3 nights (July 23, 29, 30). Calibrated with Maxim 5.25 with 64 bias, 9-18 darks (depending on temperature), and 24-64 flats (depending on date). Stacked in DSS with custom rectangle and 2x drizzle stacked. Processed in PixInsight.
Steps in PI were:
Crop to remove ragged edge, Masked stretch script, Histogram stretch to reset black point, Luminance masked noise reduction with the Denoise tool, Masked curves to darken and desaturate the background, and Unsharp mask on the brightest parts.
Exported to Lightroom for final touch (desaturate blue and red a little) and upload.
Note the rings around the brighter stars. The offset rings are from reflections inside the coverglass on the CCD. Because the larger image was framed to balance M8 and M20, the crop is not centered. Thus, the reflections are not centered.
I'm happy enough with this image, I'll revisit it with the whole frame and possibly tone down the blues a bit.

The shot was taken at the Fox Park Observatory, after the Moon set. I wasn't impressed with the lens performance. This shot can benefit from more time and some Flat Frames, the vignetting from this lens is terrible.
The Trifid Nebula (catalogued as Messier 20 or M20 and as NGC 6514) is a nebula located in Sagittarius.
Taken at the Astronomy Society of Kansas City's dark sky site near Butler, MO on August 23, 2009. The picture was taken with a Orion DSCI II camera using an Orion 80mm apochromatic refractor on a CGE mount. 3 images X 4 minutes.

Unspeakable beauty and unimaginable bedlam can be found together in the Trifid Nebula. Also known as M20, this photogenic nebula is visible with good binoculars towards the constellation of Sagittarius. The energetic processes of star formation create not only the colors but the chaos. The red-glowing gas results from high-energy starlight striking interstellar hydrogen gas. The dark dust filaments that lace M20 were created in the atmospheres of cool giant stars and in the debris from supernovae explosions. Which bright young stars light up the blue reflection nebula is still being investigated. The light from M20 we see today left perhaps 3,000 years ago, although the exact distance remains unknown. Light takes about 50 years to cross M20.

I took this image with my camera piggybacked on to my Celestron Ultima 8 with PEC. It was then processed with Photoshop.
Just for fun, a mosaic of the two last images. The 85L works really well for panoramas due to its low optical distortion.
Messier 8 (lower part of the picture) got its name of Lagoon Nebula from the description made by Agnes Clerke in 1890, when she compared this object to a lagoon surrounded by bright fog. This area is a stellar nursery: in the hydrogen cloud (in red), which forms the emission nebula NGC 6523, bright new stars are formed, grouped in the open cluster NGC 6530 (a little to the left of the nebula’s center). Distance from Earth: 4-6.000 light years.
The Trifid Nebula (upper-right), or Messier 20, lies approximately 5.000 light years away. Stars are born here as well :)
A little above Trifid (and to the left) you can see the star cluster Messier 21, made up of young stars about 4.000 light years away from us.
