Right in the heart of the Milky Way lie a few popular nebulae. The Lagoon and Trifid Nebulae are so close together, that even at 510mm they fit into a crop sensor field of view. This was a quick and dirty imaging session. Guiding was horrible (up to 3.5 arcsec) and I had very little time to shoot them, due to their low location in the sky. But at least I coughed something up.
