M20 Trifid Nebula

I brought the total integration time to almost six hours. Definitely one of the most beautiful nebulae. The result of three nights of shooting. This year I'm done with the three-panel mosaic), maybe next year I'll manage to accumulate another six or eight hours.

Two Messier objects in one frame. The Trifid Nebula and Webb's Cross (an open star cluster). M21 is one of the few remaining objects in the Messier catalog that have not been photographed by the Hubble Space Telescope. Captured in one night.
