Galactic Window

Looking up to the center of our Milky Way, it’s full of prominent, dark dust clouds hiding all that is behind them. There are, however, a few areas where this dust cloud is much more rare, allowing us to see the quite literally millions of stars in this region of space.Here I imaged one of these sections around the Ptolemy’s Cluster (Messier 7).
