Milky Way in the Tail of Scorpius
The Milky Way through the region of the tail of Scorpius, photographed with it high in the sky from Australia. At bottom are the clusters and nebulas of the False Comet area around NGC 6124. Above and at centre are the red nebulas of NGC 6334, the Cat’s Paw Nebula, and NGC 6357 (sometimes called the Lobster Nebula, for a Paws and Claws pairing). The clusters Messier 6 and Messier 7 are at top left with M7 lost in the star clouds of the Milky Way. The galactic centre lies at top left. The image could be turned 90 degrees counterclockwise to better resemble its orientation in the sky in which it was photographed in the southern hemisphere, This orientation matches the view in the northern hemisphere.
