In present total lunar eclipse, the moon was positioned around boundary of Sagittarius and Capricornus. This image shows you the Milky Way of Sagittarius and reddish eclipsed moon taken with wide-angle lens. When the moon was hidden in Earth's shadow, the summer's constellations started glittering and I could appreciate splendid flow of Milky Way. And uncountable nebulae and star clusters contained in the Milky Way recovered their brilliancy.
