Description

Have you ever heard the phrase "There are more stars than there grains of sand on earth." Today I found a beach of stars. This is an image of the core of the Milky Way taken with a 135mm lens. In the center you'll find the Lagoon nebula (red nebula) and the Trifid nebula (Red and blue). During summer the earth is positioned so we are looking inward towards the core of the Milky Way galaxy, seeing some pretty amazing things. I thought this data was lost, but found out I was just processing it wrong.
