Description

Well, my wife says I can see the galactic center and she wants to see it. (-:

She's right. It was between 26 and 27 degrees for 2 hours each night, so not a great target with average FWHM around 3" when I'm normally around 2".

Nonetheless, here it is with the center right on Sagittarius A*. Do you see it?
