"Stellar Riches" Troy Casswell: Central West Astronomical Society's astrophotography competition winner 2015

"This is a stunning rendition of the brightest part of the Milky Way. It reveals vast star clouds of Sagittarius, and the wispy dust and elusive nebulae and bright stars in Scorpius and Ophiuchus. It is a four-panel, 20-degree wide, true-colour mosaic made from 64 separate exposures with an off-the-shelf (but modified) digital camera, and much care and patience. Riches indeed!"
