The dark connection

Field centered on R.A. 18h 05' & Dec. -30° 00'

 

Star field close the center of our milky way, the bright star just below the picture center is Alnasl (Gamma Sgr). The intricate pattern of dark lanes is due to the many dark nebulas overlapped to this rich star field, among them B295, B298, B294 and B289.
