About this image

My first issue of Sky and Telescope was from March 1984, On the cover was a beautiful image taken by that master astrophotographer David Malin. I decided to take a set of images with the SeeStar S50 covering the objects in Sagittarius that wowed me in that magazine.

M20, Barnard 86, M8, NGC 6559 and IC 1283
