IC4685 et all
Often obstructed by the Lagoon Nebula, this beautiful region at the center of the Milky Way band in the sky fascinates us with an incredible golden starfield that meets up with emission, reflection and dark nebulae.
I hope you enjoy the final result as much as I do! As always, constructive criticism, comments and suggestions are more than welcome in the comments section.
