Trio Sagittarius

 Three nebulas in the constellation of Sagittarius. The first is the lagoon nebula (lower right). It is the famous Messier 8 (lagoon nebula and cluster) NGC 6523, visible with binoculars under dark sky even with the naked eye. In the middle left in the photo is the nebula IC 4685. This is a region of intense star formation. Besides emission nebula, this nebulae contains reflective and dark areas. Finally on the top right is the Trifid Nebula (Messier 20). Apart from the open star cluster contains this emission nebula, reflection and dark nebulae too, which give the overall shape of the three-pronged.

Sagittarius trio

During my involvement in photographing the "deep sky" I missed the accompaniment of music, as my musical experience guides me. So I decided to fill my astrophotos with my music. From September 2016 as a starting point, therefore, together with the Flaming Star Nebula,  I present to You, the ‘Floydish Pulsar I’, as my first musical composition (composition, performance and production by me), always inspired by these images.

Parallel Words ! and Dancing Stars I, complete my first trilogy.

Emjoy !
