Sagittarius area with 40D

Inspired by jjj...I thought I'd step out tonight and try capturing some of the the Milky Way in the same area.

A few nice clusters and other features in this one.

The best part about it? I think I'm starting to get the hang of DSS. As most of you guys know, I've not been a planets man up until now, but I'm starting to enjoy this side of things too.

Anyone want to point out some of the bits and pieces captured in this image? I'm pretty sure that's the Lagoon (M8) to the centre right of the image? M6 and M7 are to the left.
