Had a chance to revisit an old friend for a quick chat and a coffee (😉) - 40 mins or so in the company of #messier20 #Trifid -of course it was a key player in the recent #VRO telescope first light release. #astro #astronomy #eaa

and lastly two #Nebula - keeping the colourful images until the end! #Messier57 - the quiet "death" of a star like our Sun and #messier20 - the start once more of the whole cosmic cycle - as star clusters will from out of the gas and the dust from past gaseous deaths... 🔭 5/5

Gisteravond Messier 20 met een Seestar S30, combinatie van verschillende opnames.

Another older picture from 2021. The #Trifidnebula #messier20. A H II starforming region with emission, reflection and absorption nebula all in one object. Imaged with a 130/650mm Newton. #Astrophotography #astronomy #m20

#PhotoOfTheDay: The Light, Dark, and Dusty #Trifid

#Messier20, popularly known as the Trifid Nebula, lies about 5,000 light-years away toward the nebula rich constellation Sagittarius.

Over 75 hours of image data was used to create this stunning view.

Muhammad Alaa in Egypt captured this image of the #LagoonNebula and #Messier20. The image took a total of two hours to take with each exposure lasting 60 seconds. Incredible! Thank you, Muhammad!

Also known as #Messier20, The #TrifidNebula sits right next to the Lagoon Nebula (M8), forming all together a magnificent, colourful neighbourhood, typical of the Milky Way's spiral arm structure as our galaxy's star-forming region. Here, captured with our #SeestarS30Pro
