The Trifid Nebula (top left) and the Lagoon Nebula (bottom right) together in a wide-field photo. At 4,000 light years distance, consider them nearby, on a galactic scale. I photographed the Trifid and the Lagoon nebulae over two warm evenings in late July 2022 at the Astrofarm Dark Sky Site, Confolens, France. This is an aggregate of 60 photos, each a 3 minute exposure. #trifidnebula #lagoonnebula #messier20 #messier8 #messierobjects #astrophotography #astrophotographie #astrophotographiefrance (at Astrofarm) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgzQD_usgVQ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
