This image captures the region near the boundary between Sagittarius and Scorpius, right in the midst of the summer Milky Way low in the southern sky, using a medium-ranged telephoto lens.
The galactic equator runs diagonally across the right side of the frame.
This area points towards the center of the Milky Way galaxy, where intricate, web-like dark nebulae drift against the bright glow of the Milky Way.
Among them, the two dark nebulae B292 and B295, located south of γ Sagittarii, are prominent and span about 50 to 60 arc minutes.
Using binoculars, you can enjoy a spectacular view of these dark nebulae along with the two large open clusters M6 and M7 seen to their southwest.
