Description:

Imaged from under the dark skies of eastern Maine, the Milky Way takes on an almost surreal appearance. Many of the features seen here are visible with the unaided eye, such as the Prancing Horse (including the Pipe Nebula), Messier 8, the Lagoon Nebula, Messier 24, the Small Sagittarious Star Cloud, and the Milky Way's bulge into Ophiuchus.
