  1. Lagoon Nebula

    At only 4,320 light-years away, the Lagoon Nebula features an open cluster of young stars age 4 - 6 million years.

    Captured with my Seestar S30 at John Glenn Astronomy Park tonight.

  7. 📸 Rubin’s First Look: A Sagittarius Skyscape
    This wide-field view from the new Vera C. Rubin Observatory spans over 4 degrees in Sagittarius. It captures the Lagoon Nebula (M8) and Trifid Nebula (M20), two iconic regions of star formation in the Milky Way.
