Hi everyone.

Early hours of Tuesday 09.08.21 the high cloud cleared
and the dew eased up.

I really enjoy the area in Sagittarius, it has so much to offer.

Colours, contrasting areas and nice dust lanes
silhouetted against the darkness of space.

Thanks for looking.

Hi Paul, will have to have a look at that area.

I will see if I can plate solve your image to get the RA Dec coords.

Tried Startools yet?

Good job

Peter

I use an online plate solver.

www.astrometry.net

Site uploads every ten seconds till it's solved.

I sometimes use it if I am doing EAA and I'm not sure
where I am in the sky and have found something interesting.

Screen shot of plate solve below.

Thanks for showing interest in my attempts.

Paul.
