Description

The core of our home galaxy - Milky Way. A place of myriad stars and nebulas. The source of the bright part in its core is a supermassive black hole Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*). Small pink gas clouds in the central part are nebulas - newborn star nurseries.Imaged by me on August 14th from the Negev desert in Israel, (Bortle 3).A stack of 10x60sec images was taken with a Panasonic GX8 camera, 25mm f/1.7 Panasonic lens, and Skywatcher mini tracker.
