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.

I spent another great night at my astronomy clubs observatory site on Friday, April 27th. The clouds cleared just as the moon set at around 1:30am so I was able to get a good hour or so of 3 minute subs on this beautiful nebula. This was my first attempt at this object and I am happy with the results:)

A Nebulosa da Trífida, caracterizada pela presença de uma nebulosa de emissão (vermelha) e uma nebulosa de reflexão (azul), na constelação do Sagitário.

The Trifid Nebula, characterized by the presence of an emission nebula (red) and reflection nebula (blue) in the constellation of Sagittarius.
July 6th 2010 in Caina inn, vicinity of Curitiba, southern Brazil.
Details: 600mm f/7.5 apochromatic reflector with a Canon Rebel xTi camera, mounted on an EQ-5 Pro SkyWatcher. Exposure time was 100s at ISO 1600, processed with PhotoShop CS2 and Imaginomic Noiseware.
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.

Funny, I'd assumed Trifid was spelt Triffid, two f's, as in Day of the Triffids, the old sci-fi book by John Wyndham. My internal image of the Triffid plants was that they had a flower head similar in shape to the Trifid Nebula. Coincidence?
The seeing wasn't the best on this night, so fine detail is lacking, but I do like the colors. I'm thinking about moving on to a mono CCD with LRGB filters, but the more I look at the treatment the 40D provides, the more I think I'll continue to shoot with it even if I do get a CCD.

When you look at this image you are looking towards the centre of our galaxy (the galaxy centre is just outside the bottom-right corner). As a result, this area of sky is filled with billions of stars and lots of dark nebulae. The Great Rift, a band of dark gas and dust that runs right through the middle of the Milky Way in our sky, runs right through this image from top to bottom.
There are a number of interesting objects in this area (and this image), including the Lagoon Nebula, the Trifid Nebula, Messier 21, NGC 6544, and NGC 6553.
For a closeup of the Lagoon and Trifid Nebulae, click this link:

The Trifid Nebula (catalogued as Messier 20 and NGC 6514) is an H II region in the north-west of Sagittarius in a star-forming region in the Milky Way's Scutum-Centaurus Arm.
The object is an unusual combination of an open cluster of stars, an emission nebula (the relatively dense, reddish-pink portion), a reflection nebula (the mainly NNE blue portion), and a dark nebula (the apparent 'gaps' in the former that cause the trifurcated appearance, designated Barnard 85).

M8, the Lagoon Nebula, is at the bottom. M20, the Trifid nebula is at top right. M21, an open cluster is at top left.
Equipment: Nikon D5300, Nikkor AF-S 300mm f/4D IF-ED lens, and iOptron Skytracker. Taken at 300mm, f/5.6, ISO 6400, 121 frames of 30" each plus 50 darks. Stacked in Regim and cropped/processed in Lightroom.
The glowing Trifid Nebula is revealed with near- and mid-infrared views from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope. The Trifid Nebula is a giant star-forming cloud of gas and dust located 5,400 light-years away in the constellation Sagittarius.
The false-color Spitzer image reveals a different side of the Trifid Nebula. Where dark lanes of dust are visible trisecting the nebula in a visible-light picture, bright regions of star-forming activity are seen in the Spitzer picture. All together, Spitzer uncovered 30 massive embryonic stars and 120 smaller newborn stars throughout the Trifid Nebula, in both its dark lanes and luminous clouds. These stars are visible in the Spitzer image, mainly as yellow or red spots. Embryonic stars are developing stars about to burst into existence.
Ten of the 30 massive embryos discovered by Spitzer were found in four dark cores, or stellar "incubators," where stars are born. Astronomers using data from the Institute of Radioastronomy millimeter telescope in Spain had previously identified these cores but thought they were not quite ripe for stars. Spitzer's highly sensitive infrared eyes were able to penetrate all four cores to reveal rapidly growing embryos.
Astronomers can actually count the individual embryos tucked inside the cores by looking closely at the Spitzer image taken by its infrared array camera (IRAC). This instrument has the highest spatial resolution of Spitzer's imaging cameras. The Spitzer image from the multiband imaging photometer (MIPS), on the other hand, specializes in detecting cooler materials. Its view highlights the relatively cool core material falling onto the Trifid's growing embryos. This image is a combination of Spitzer data from both of these instruments.
The embryos are thought to have been triggered by a massive "type O" star, which can be seen as a white spot at the center of the nebula. Type O stars are the most massive stars, ending their brief lives in explosive supernovas. The small newborn stars probably arose at the same time as the O star, and from the same original cloud of gas and dust.
This Spitzer mosaic image combines data from IRAC and MIPS, showing light of 4.5 microns (blue), 8.0 microns (green) and 24 microns (red).
Lagoon and Trifid Nebula
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 Trifid Nebula (catalogued as Messier 20 or M20 and as NGC 6514) is an H II region located in Sagittarius. Its name means 'divided into three lobes'. The object is an unusual combination of an open cluster of stars, an emission nebula (the lower, red portion), a reflection nebula (the upper, blue portion) and a dark nebula (the apparent 'gaps' within the emission nebula that cause the trifid appearance; these are also designated Barnard 85). Viewed through a small telescope, the Trifid Nebula is a bright and colorful object, and is thus a perennial favorite of amateur astronomers.
Der Trifidnebel M20 (links) und der Lagunennebel M8 (rechts). Diese Nebel im Sternbild Schütze bestehen hauptsächlich aus rot leuchtendem ionisiertem Wasserstoffgas.
Weiter rechts unten sind noch die kleinen Sternhaufen NGC 6544 und 6553 zu sehen. Diese Region des Himmels ist in meinen norddeutschen Breiten nur in den hellen Sommernächten und auch nur sehr tief am Südhorizont sichtbar, was die Fotografie stark einschränkt.
Aufgenommen am 12.07.2020 mit der Canon EOS 7Da (modifiziert auf Rotempfindlichkeit) und dem EF 70-200 2,8 L IS USM II bei Blende 2,8 und 200mm Brennweite.
