Description

The center of the Milky Way in this picture is centered very near to the center of the picture.
The wide field offered by a full frame camera and the 100mm lens allows to see from the triffid and lagoon nebulae (top left) to below the cat's paws nebula at the right bottom.
Clouds of dust in front of an insane amount of stars make this region spectacular for wide angle photography.
