The summer Milky Way is a beautiful sight, when viewed from rural skies, away from city lights. The brighter stars of the constellation of Sagittarius form a pattern that looks somewhat like a teapot, with the Milky Way appearing as steam rising from the spout. Embedded within the Milky Way are several star clusters and Nebulae.
This photo, taken from the White Mountains of New Hampshire, also includes two planets; Saturn is the brightest object to the left side of the photo, while Jupiter is the blazing object to the right.

Equipment: Nikon Df, 50mm lens with a diffusion filter.
