Description:
A wide field view of the summer Milky Way centered on M24, the Small Sagittarius Star Cloud, includes many of the other iconic targets concentrated in this part of the sky, including the Lagoon Nebula, the Triffid Nebula, the Swan Nebula, and the Eagle Nebula. This setup creates a middle ground between the beautiful landscape images of the Milky Way by many astrophotographers and closer images that reveal much more detail.
