This wide field image shows the Galactic Center region in the Milky Way. It is a very rich region of the sky, the most beautiful to me. and is located in the constellations of Scorpius and Sagittarius. Among the zones and objects of interest on this image are : the colourful Antares region , the Baade window region , the
Lagoon  Nebula region with, just above it, the Trifid Nebula. The large and dark Pipe Nebula sits in the middle of this field.
