Lagoon and Trifid

• Photographer
  Mátyás Csárdi

My first picture of the Lagoon Nebula (Messier 8) and the Trifid Nebula (Messier 20) located in the constellation Sagittarius. The image was made, by stacking forty-eight 90 second exposures and several calibration frames (15 dark frames, 15 flat frames and 15 bias frames). The camera I used, was a Nikon D5300 with a 70-300mm VR lens at the focal length of 300mm's. The star tracker I used, was a SkyWatcher Star Adventurer 2i.
