This image was taken on a small ranch near Abiquiu, NM.  The Sagittarius Region of the Milky Way is rich in
star formation, open and globular star cluster and large star fields.  It hosts the center of our galaxy, which is
believed to contain a large blackhole.  A knowledge of the night sky and a keen eye reveal dozens of deep sky
objects in this photo.
