The Skeleton of the Trifid nebula
A different view of the core of the Lagoon Nebula. For this I used the SII data as a luminance frame (SII-SHO). The SII data contains incredible detail, in some cases much more than the Ha master frame. Hope you like it!
Ha: 24 x 300s,
SII: 29 x 300s,
OIII: 32 x 300s.
Acquired between 04 May and 09 June 2023.
