The galactic core of of the Milky Way galaxy is heading towards the Southern Hemisphere as viewing season ends in the Northern Hemisphere for the winter.

The Lagoon Nebula is very visible just above right of the Sagittarius Star Cluster ( the large bright yellow area). By sheer luck a small meteor was captured on the far left.

There is also a faint band of green airglow crossing the image in the lower half.

Canon T31 with Canon 50 mm lens @f/4.5, 2 min single exposure, MSM rotator star tracker, Triopo Carbon Fiber tripod, intervalometer timer.

Color, contrast, denoise enhancements.
