Sagittarius and the Galctic Centre

Well I don't see the black hole This is the Constellation Sagittarius rising. M8, M20, M21, M25 and M22 are easily seen, also to the right there's M6 and M7, very low down, pity they don't get much higher from Ireland Imagine how bright it would be if nearly all the dust was gone Details:

Excellent! Damn, I'm so jealous!! Do you have any high res images of them snaps?

Another amazing image Keith!

It really is amazinge what you can get on ISO400 over 6 minutes!

Ro_C, Yep, I have hi res images, do you want them?, I could e-mail them to you but eircom will only allow me send attachments up to 1Mb in size

Yeah, 6 minutes that's all, Ihope to get more as the summer goes along, but i'll try and get multiple shots and stack them, maybe they'll turn out a little better
