This is a framing of the starfield in the Milky Way from Sagitta the Arrow, at bottom, to the planetary nebula Messier 27 or the Dumbbell Nebula in Vulpecula at top. The globular star cluster M71 is at lower left in Sagitta. The sparse open cluster NGC 6830 is at top right. Interstellar dust dims and yellows the starfield. This is a stack of 10 x 6-minute exposures with the Sharpstar 61EDPH III refractor at and the filter-modified Canon R at ISO 800 on the Astro-Physics 600E mount autoguided with the MGEN III guider. No filter employed other than a UV/IR Cut filter. Taken from home at latitude 51° N on a very clear night with good transparency. The field of view is about ° by 5°.
