Sagittarius at centre of Milky Way
This data was captured in 2015 by the autonomous Bradford Robotic Telescope's Constellation Camera, located on Mount Teide, using a Nikon f=16mm lens at F2.8. This was before the installation was taken over and upgraded by telescope.org and Open Science Observatories, the Open University. As this bit of the Milky Way never rises above my southern horizon at latitude 52deg 28mins 30secs N, I processed and cropped this data using current software to show essentially the centre of our home galaxy. It s intriguing to think that Sagittarius A* a 4million solar masses blackhole is lurking just to the right of the spout on the teapot asterism' in the constellation Sagittarius shown in this image.
