Re: [APML] Sagittarius Star Cloud



Great shot, Matt!!

That's a really crowded area of the Milky Way!!

Good to see that you have made it back safely from your trip to Chile!!! How was
the trip? What are the stats from the trip (number of clear nights/number of
images)?

Best regards,
Arne

> The Sagittarius Star Cloud is the brightest part of the Milky Way, near the
galactic center. It is northwest of the Sagittarius "teapot spout". This image
is full frame and covers 4.6° x 3.6°.

scanning. The only ill effect is that the stars are burned out slightly, but
that was mitigated by star shaping.
