Description

Sagittarius star cloud with an FSQ106N and STL6303e

Dark site.

Centered around NGC6603, an open cluster, the whole image is encompassed by M24, the Sagittarius star cloud.

Within the frame are a number of dark Nebula, predominantly Barnard 92 and 93 south of the cluster and there is an interesting emission nebula left of centre with a nearby reflection nebula.

Within the frame there are quite a few Ha areas which I pulled out using the colour mask script in PI - cheers Rick.

I could see the star cloud naked eye when I imaged this. Gotta love a good dark site.
