One of the best Celestial line-ups you will see all year. Having trouble finding the Lagoon and Trifid nebulae? Just extend the line formed by the planets a little to the West. You can't miss them! Use binoculars.
Note that semi-circular asterism next to the Scutum Star Cloud at the upper left. It's almost a mirror image of Corona Australis, which appears at the lower right. Strangely enough, this asterism does not have a name (yet they take a group of random bright stars spaced widely apart and dub it "The Winter Circle"! Go figure.) So, I hereby name this asterism Corona Sillius. Another one of my submissions to the IAU. I hope they like it.
