During the trek up a 1-mile, 1,200-foot fire service road to reach the lookout, we encountered thunder (but not lightning), a black bear, storm clouds and more. However, later that evening the skies clear and this happened. After verifying the Milky Way was visible with my 12mm lens, I decided to switch to the 50mm lens.

This wide angle shot taken with an unmodified mirrorless camera captures a field of view that includes the Lagoon and Trifid Nebulae (M8 and M20).
The Wide Lagoon
A wide angle shot to capture the nebulosity that links the Lagoon Nebula with its nearby companion the Trifid Nebula.
⭐ The Red Lagoon
A fresh look at old data that captured both the Lagoon and Trifid in the same field of view.
⭐ The Lagoon Revisited
A widefield shot of a region filled with beautiful nebulae, galaxies and star clusters.
The Lagoon and Trifid Nebulae
This large, bright and beautiful nebula stays low on the horizon in the Pacific Northwest, making it a challenging target to observe.
M8: The Lagoon Nebula
This cloud of interstellar dust surrounds a cluster that radiates energy to make the nebula glow.
