Micro-observatory Image 4.3

This is a Micro-observatory processed image of Messier 20 (the Trifid Nebula). I requested images of the nebula in red, green, and blue color wavelengths. I changed the color table of each of the pictures to their appropriate color and shifted them so they stacked properly. Even though I reduced the noise of the images before I altered them, there is still some significant noise left. The noise explains the speckled look of the darker parts of the image.
