| Description |
This is a picture of the Milky Way
looking above the constellation Sagittarius. We are
looking more or less toward the center of the Milky Way
Galaxy and you can see several Nebulas and at least 3
star clusters (bottom right, upper right, and top
center). Dark areas are dusty lanes that block light
from the center of our galaxy. |
| Processing |
The picture was taken with a Canon 20Da
with the 70-200mm F4 L lens set at 70mm. The camera was
piggy backed on the G11 mount, polar aligned with the
polar scope, camera set at ISO 1600, and imaged for 4
minutes. This is a stack of 4 pictures, with dark frame
subtracted and processed in ImagesPlus. |
