08/30/2006 So Many Stars...


Here's a picture I took on Sunday night with the 4", while I was waiting for M31 to climb higher. The subject is M24, the Small Sagittarius Star Cloud. This is only a part of it, the actual cloud is quite large. You can see it naked eye as a patch in the Southern Milky Way.
Near the center is the open cluster NGC 6603, and toward the bottom of the image is the dark nebula Barnard 92.
