A mosaic panorama of the rich Galactic Centre region of the Milky Way in Scorpius and Sagittarius, from Messier 16, at left, to the False Comet region, at right. This is the most spectacular region of sky, with its dense bright star clouds contrasting with the swirls of dark dusty nebulas. The region includes the Lagoon Nebula, left of centre, and the Cat’s Paw Nebula, right of centre, and the large Pipe Nebula, at top centre. The actual centre of the Milky Way lies at the centre of the frame, though thr true centre is out of sight hidden by dust clouds. This is a mosaic of 3 segments, each 5 x 2-minute exposures with the Rokinon 85mm lens at and filter-modified Canon 5D MkII at ISO 2500. Tracked on the iOptron Sky Tracker. Shot from Tibuc Gardens Cottage at Coonabarabran, Australia, April 2017.
