Trifid and Lagoon Nebulae Mosaic from Death Valley

About this image

This is a mosaic of the Lagoon Nebula (M8) and Trifid Nebula (M20) region in the sky. This is done in SHO palette. I meant to take RGB images for better stars and for the reflection nebula by Trifid but ran out of time this season. See the full res on astrobin: https://app.astrobin.com/i/6ytgi2
