Lagoon Area

This is a shot I have been wanting to take of the whole area not just the two main Nebulas Lagoon & Triffid. Up the top is the chinese dragon nebula Look at the black line through it you can see the dragon.

I love the view of the surrounding area and all the very dark lanes. to me I see a teenage Ninja turtle for those old enough to remember. This is a two panel panorama shot between clouds and rain. I can say this has lived up to every thing I knew about the area.
