Description

Wide field image of Southern Milky Way featuring Sagittarius and Scorpius. Shot with an astro-modded Rokinon 16mm at f/2. Images calibrated, stacked, aligned and combined in DSS and processed in PSCC. Conditions were superb. Seeing and transparency were excellent. Was able to capture several deep sky objects including, M's 8, 20, 21, 24, 16 and 17. Also M's 6, 7, 4 and NGC 6231, the False Comet.
