This medium field view of the Milky Way, illustrates the incredible richness and beauty of the night sky as viewed from the Australian Outback. With our vision unhampered by light and industrial pollution, great lanes of dark material are revealed that intermingle with colorful reflection and emission nebulae. This image is pointed into the constellations of Ophiuchus and Scorpius.
