Rich Starfield

Today's Astronomy Picture of the Day shows you one of the best areas to view during the summer. The region around Sagittarius and Scorpius are rich with nebula, dense starfields, globular clusters and more. Use binoculars or a telescope with a wide field of view and log magnification. After you explore these regions, head "up" along the Milky Way for less dense, but occasionally as spectacular, sights.
