To see Triangulum Australe, the most southern constellation in the image,
you have to be below geographic latitude 20 degrees north.
The galactic equator is crossing our field of view and the galactic center is
quiet close to the upper left image corner. Huge and bright star fields are
dominating these regions. Some parts are dimmed by clouds of
interstellar dust that obscure the starlight and so appear as dark nebulous
clouds in front of the milky way.
On the other side interstellar gas can be heatened by stars and then radiate itself.
This are the red appearing emission nebulae like
IC 4628 and NGC 6188.
Further Deep Sky Objects are the many star clusters
in our field.
