This wide-field image shows you the panoramic view of summerly Milky Way crossing the great summer's triangle in the zenith and flowing down to the southern skies. In summer of 2019, two giant planets of brighter Jupiter and a bit darker Saturn were positioned at the western and eastern coasts of the Milky Way, respectively. They had good observation opportunities almost simultaneously.
