Description

My first LRGB image of the Trifid and Lagoon nebulae, captured in a single full-frame at 640mm focal length. I wasn't sure the framing would work, but in the end I am reasonably happy with it, largely because I also managed to capture those lovely nebula to the east (bottom) of the Lagoon (NGC6557, IC1274, 1275 etc). The dark "back-to-front S" region running to the east of the Lagoon also features well in this image.
