The Swan Nebula is catalogued as Messier-17. It is a hot hydrogen cloud in our galaxy at 5,000 light years distance. I photographed this from my terrace in Bordeaux France, July 2020. #messier17 #messierobjects #ngc6618 #astrophotography #astronomy (at Bordeaux, France) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDWxqX7ngfp/?igshid=7xryn6b22ryp
