Click For Summary
Orion is observed setting in the western sky while Scorpio rises in the east, with detailed views provided through Stellarium. The discussion includes photographic evidence of these constellations, highlighting Canis Major and Sirius, which is nearly obscured by palm trees. Additional images capture Sagittarius and Corona Australis, along with Scorpio's tail. The presence of Sagittarius A, the supermassive black hole at the Milky Way's center, is noted, although it is not visible in the photographs. The observations were made on specific dates in June and May 2023, using a Canon EOS 600D camera.

Sagittarius and Corona Australis. Scorpio's tail at lower left. 20th May 2023 5:22 am.
Somewhere in there lurks Sagittarius A - the monster black hole at the centre of the Milky Way. Obviously the pic will show no signs of that!
