The Trifid Nebula is easily found with a small telescope in the Sagittarius constellation. It is around 5,000 light-years away and is one of the most strikingly colorful nebula in the Messier catalog. The Sagittarius constellation is very nebula dense and is a great region for beginner astronomer's and astrophotagraphers alike.
Thanks for sharing!
