Milky Way Annotated

Springbrook, Queensland, Australia

This demonstrates the typical feeling of being lost at a dark sky site. One sees so many stars that the familiar constellations tend to get submerged (like in the previous picture), but look closely and indeed we can find our way easily enough... By the way, to get some similarity in what The Sky plots and what a 14mm rectilinear lens images, set The Sky to use "gnomonic" projection.
