M8 Lagoon Nebula & M20 Trifid Nebula (featuring NGC 6559 and M21)
This region lies in Sagittarius, near the center of the Milky Way — a favorite spring-and-summer target among astrophotographers. The frame is built around M8 (lower center), M20 (upper right) and NGC 6559 (left); the open cluster M21 sits just upper-left of M20.
