      M20 Trifid Nebula

      The Trifid Nebula is a low-level object in our latitudes and is incredibly beautiful. Located in the constellation Sagittarius. It is represented immediately through the types of nebulae - emission (pinkish), reflective (color) and absorbing (blue). The dark filaments bordering the Triple Nebula formed in the atmospheres of cool giant stars. This is one of the most interesting nebulae in the summer southern sky, it is quite clearly visible already through a telescope of 150 mm.
