Re: The centre of our Galaxy
Hi Tony,
A very nice picture, and nice equipment used to obtain it, However a point worth mentioning, This is not the centre of the Milky Way Galaxy, although often mentioned as such, as our solar system sits out in the Orion Arm of the Galaxy, about half way to the outer edge, between ourselves and the centre are the Sagittarius Arm (that which you photographed) The Crux Arm and the Norma Arm all which obscure the centre (which is thought to be a black hole), The Sagittarius Arm (star cloud) is a specatular object for photography nontheless, thought you might be interested in these facts.
cheers.....Jim
