This is a nice pairing taken early this summer with the TAK Sky 90 II and 20D. At the top is The Trifid Nebula(M20) and at the bottom is The Lagoon nebula(M8).

As Keith mentioned, it's a great opportunity for an education. Unfortunately, my memory isn't good enough for anything to educate me. I immediately seem to forget anything I learn and have to continually relearn.

However, having said that, I love your astonomy images. They are breathtaking.
