Sagittarius Star Cloud and NGC6603

[Djt]

Fishing around for a last minute target last weekend to test out a new focuser and found this.

Centrerd around an open cluster, NGC6603, here’s a bit going on here, not least the star cloud, some dark nebulae and a fair bit of ha against the background of the cente of the Milky Way. Bit of fun, hope you like.

This is incredible. Well captured and processed.

I decided to view NGC 6603 the other day mainly because its mentioned in Steve O'Meara's Secret Deep book. Excellent photo so thanks for posting.
