This image was taken from my deck in Abbotsford on July 15, 2013. It consists of 8 10-minute images registered and combined in CCDStack and processed in Photoshop CS5.
The Trifid Nebula is in Sagittarius 5,000 light years away. It gets its name from its three-lobed appearance, and contains both red emission from ionized hydrogen and blue reflection of star light from dust grains.
