The Galactic Centre of the Milky Way at Grasslands National Park, Canada.
August 27, 2019 - The core of the Milky Way in Sagittarius low in the south over the Frenchman River valley at Grasslands National Park, Saskatchewan, Canada. This is from the 76 Ranch Corral site. Grasslands is a Dark Sky Preserve. The frame takes in the open star clusters M6 and M7 just above the horizon in Scorpius, on up through the Sagittarius Star Cloud and galactic core, then up past the red nebulas M8 and M20, the Small Sagittarius Starcloud M24 flanked by the clusters M23 and M25, then the nebulas M17 and M16 at top in Serpens. The globular cluster M55 is visible at far left. Jupiter is bright at right above reddish Antares, Saturn is dimmer at left, to the left of the globular cluster M22.
