The Annotated Galactic Center
The sky toward the center of our Milky Way Galaxy is a busy place, filled with many celestial wonders. You can see most of them with just binoculars. Constellations like Sagittarius, Libra, and Scorpius are prominent. There are also nebulae, including M8, M16, and the Pipe Nebula, alongside open clusters like M6 and M7, and globular clusters such as M9 and M22.
