The Lagoon Nebula, otherwise known as Messier 8, a bright emission nebula in the constellation of Sagittarius. The brightest nebula visible in the summer, the Lagoon Nebula can just be seen with the naked eye under dark skies and is easy to spot with a small pair of binoculars.
I took this photo with a TMB92L refractor telescope, a Hutech-modified Canon T3i DSLR, an Orion SSAG autoguider and 50mm guidescope, all riding on a Celestron AVX mount.
