This section of the Milky Way takes in the centre of the Galaxy area in Scorpius and Sagittarius, with both constellations framed here. This is a stack of 4 x 6 minute exposures at f/4 with the 35mm Canon telephoto lens on the Canon 5D MKII. One exposure was taken thru a Kenko Softon filter to add the star glows. It was taken May 2, 2011 from Atacama Lodge in central Chile and is one segment from a 12-segment panorama along the Milky Way.
