Milky Way - Galactic Centre

I managed to capture another panel on my Milky Way panorama during the recent new moon observing weekend at Wiruna.

The image now extends further along to the north and is orientated around the Galactic Centre. An annotated copy is also included that shows the major deep sky objects and identifies the Galactic Centre, the location of the massive black hole around which our galaxy is rotating. The annotated copy also identifies some of the main brighter named stars.

I’ve included links below to the Astrobin page for the image as well as links directly to the marked up copy. It is worth taking the time to scan through the annotated version as well as the main image. Might be a good source for identifying some imaging targets maybe?

Direct link to annotated copy.

Clear skies,
