Very good-looking APOD! But for a long time I couldn't make head or tail of some parts of the skyscape, so I had to annotate it for my own sake.Hope you like it!
1) Alpha Ophiuchi, Rasalhague
2) Beta Ophiuchi
3) A lot of stars and some clusters in Ophiuchus, like
IC 4665 next to Beta Oph, and
NGC 6633 at left, and IC IC 4756 at far left (in Serpens)
4) There seems to be no number 4! I forgot number 4!
5) The
Scutum Star Cloud.
6) The
Small Sagittarius Star Cloud.
7) Altair, one of the stars of
the Summer Triangle.
8) Bright bluish Vega, brightest-looking star of the Summer Triangle.
9) Neat little
constellation Lyra! I may not have drawn it perfectly correct.
10) Star Sadr, Gamma Cygni, and
surrounding nebulosity.
11) Mighty A-type supergiant star Deneb of the third apex of the Summer Triangle.
12) The
North America Nebula.
13)
The IC 1396 Nebula with red supergiant star Mu Cephei.
Compare the upper right part of the skyscape in today's APOD with the left and lower left part of the picture of constellation Ophiuchus by Tony And Daphne Hallas.
