Center of the galaxy
Taken with EOS350D (37mm f3.5 800 iso) on Astrotrac light mount : 15*120 seconds without autoguiding.
In France this area of the Galaxy is low in the sky (around 25 deg in summer), this factor added to some light pollution explains the yellow background.
Black areas on the picture are space dust clouds masking lightness of underlying bright objects, and bright areas are provided by density of stars and stars clusters.
The labels beginning with "m" on the picture are those of Messier catalog.
