Trifid and Lagoon Nebulae - a photo on Flickriver

            Trifid Nebula and Lagoon Nebula, aka M20 and M8, near the center of our Milky Way Galaxy. The yellow dust surrounding the nebulae is part of the galactic arm. This photo featured on Flickr blog, 26-JUN-2010. Thanks Flickr!!  =)

Sky conditions:  windy and lots of moisture with lightning in the distance. In other words, lousy seeing. Green data was affected the most. If better, I would provide a larger resolution version of this image.
