Sagittarius Star Cloud

Pretty picture time. First time imaging in ages and no planning went into this as was distracted by nosy neighbours and beers when I should have been thinking about what to image.

Centered around the open cluster NGC6603, itself pretty much hidden by the star cloud, I found this area really interesting.

You have the open cluster, a number of Dark nebular including B92 and 93 close to centre, then an emission nebula (IC1284), centre left with a couple of reflection nebula below, the rest besmirched by stars with ribbons of Ha threaded throughout. M17 is just off frame bottom right if you are looking for context.

Would like to look more at the IC1284 with a longer focal length if time allows.
