OBJECT DESCRIPTION AND IMAGE SESSION
This wide-field taken with an APSC sensor and a 18-55 mm lens working at around 20 focal length cover an area of 60 degrees approximately. From our southern July / August winter the at 0.00 AM the center of our Milky Way is in the overhead. So I took the chance to shoot with a wide field lens and a tripod 15 exposures of 20 seconds each to see what happens.
Though not very deep Image but some classic objects were revealed. Below a labeled image with the name of objects star and constellations in spanish
