Trifid Nebula by Kat Miller 🤩
Kat says:
I took this on the 23.08 during my scopes maiden voyage.
Not a lot of data recorded as I was just happy to finally have it aligned and was exploring mostly.
I definitely want to return to this interesting night sky jewel..
Info:
The Trifid Nebula is an H II region located in Sagittarius. It was discovered by Charles Messier on June 5, 1764. Its name means 'divided into three lobes'. The object is an unusual combination of an open cluster of stars; an emission nebula, a reflection nebula and a dark nebula. Via Wikipedia

"Together Alone" - Casey Flynn Photography
Tracked with the Star Adventurer
Casey says: Feels like forever I’ve been waiting for the lesser photographed side of the Milky Way to start rising in the east and put my modded cam to work and capture all the red nebula around this part of town.
Managed to cram a couple stray planets in there with Mars over on the far left and Venus rising around the centre 👽
