๐Ÿ“ธ Rubinโ€™s First Look: A Sagittarius Skyscape
This wide-field view from the new Vera C. Rubin Observatory spans over 4 degrees in Sagittarius. It captures the Lagoon Nebula (M8) and Trifid Nebula (M20), two iconic regions of star formation in the Milky Way.

A wide-field image showing a dense starfield in the constellation Sagittarius, featuring two prominent nebulae: the Lagoon Nebula (M8) and the Trifid Nebula (M20). The Lagoon appears as a large reddish-pink cloud with glowing gas and embedded young stars. Above it, the Trifid Nebula shows a red region split by dark dust lanes and a blue reflection nebula. The background is filled with stars and subtle clouds of interstellar dust, captured in stunning infrared and visible-light detail.

Here is the image processed of the - . The colors are great, though you do loose some of the detail I feel.

After last night's #drone show of #Kooranup, I set up my #DwarfII down on #Manjaree (#BathersBeach) in #Walyalup (#Fremantle).

Despite bright lights everywhere, and a lot of haze from the bushfires around #Perth , I managed to get a very nice shot of the #LagoonNebula (#M8). 100 frames @gain 80 and 15s exposure, with an OIII/Ha filter. Post processed in #snapseed.

One of my early #Astro shots: the #LagoonNebula and the #TrifidNebula.

From memory, this was taken a few years ago with a standard mirrorless camera, and a #SkyWatcher #ED80 telescope, on an #EQ6R mount.

The two nebulas described in the test. The Trifid nebula is small, and has two coloured lobes, one blue, and one magenta. The lagoon nebula is much larger, and different shades of white and magenta. The yellowish colour of the milky wayโ€™s galactic dust can be seen in the background, among hundreds of thousands of stars.

Messier 8: The Lagoon Nebula

The Lagoon Nebula is one of those deep sky objects that is just above the horizon from where I live.
