Area of the sky encompassing the constellation of Scorpius is seen in full here at centre and the galactic centre in Sagittarius is seen at left. The Dark Horse prances at top with dark tendrils of dust reaching down to yellow Antares and the colourful emission and reflection nebulas of the Rho Ophuichi area. Lots of Messier objects in the field, from M24 (aka the Small Sagittarius Starcloud) flanked by the M23 and M25 clusters at upper left, down past M8 and M20 nebulas, the Lagoon and Trifid, and the pair of star clusters M6 and M7 above the tail of Scorpius. In the tail are the Cats Paw Nebula, NGC 6334, and the False Comet area with the IC 4628 nebula. The Blue Horsehead, IC 4592, is at upper right off the head of Scorpius. The galactic centre is left of centre in the dark bay above the M6 star cluster and below the bright Sagittarius Starcloud.
