Photo description / processing

It had been a long time since there was such weather in Adygea — May was flooded, June was flooded, July was also wet and cloudy. Thank God, three days of shooting worked out, plus material from last year. In any case, the sky at our latitude is incomparable! M8 - a giant star formation region and an H II region in the constellation Sagittarius. Under favorable conditions, it is faintly discernible to the naked eye. It is located at a distance of 5200 light-years. Physical size 70x30 light-years. Apparent size 90'x40'.
