Sagittarius Starcloud (77mm 5DII)

The area of the Sagittarius Starcloud, near the centre of the Galaxy, which is at right just above the red nebula, Gum 70. The small star cluster in the middle of the Sagittarius Starcloud is NGC 6520 and the dark nebula beside it B86. The small cluster at lower right is NGC 6451.

This is a single 8-minute exposure at f/4.3 with the Borg 77mm astrograph, and Canon 5D Mark II at ISO 800. Clouds rolled in before I could take more frames for stacking.
