The Lagoon Nebula, Trifid Nebula, and M21 Open Cluster - July 2025

The Lagoon Nebula, Trifid Nebula, and M21 Open Cluster - July 2025

The Lagoon Nebula (left), Trifid Nebula (lower right), and M21 Open Cluster (upper right of Trifid). + so many stars!!!

This is 386 twenty second exposures (2 hr 8 min) taken with my ASI294MC and Zenithstar 73III. The only filter used is the Astronomik L-3 Luminance UV/IR filter. This was taken at Cattle Point.

I went with shorter subframes here because my polar alignment was a bit off, it was a breezy night, and my telescope was getting hit with car lights driving into the park frequently so I wanted to try to reduce the number of frames I was throwing out.
