The image shows an auxiliary telescope at the centre of the picture. Its spherical dome is closed, obscuring the magical view of the centre of the Milky Way in the background. Blue, pink and white stars are scattered across the image, with dark clouds stretching across the elongated accumulation of stars, creating an awe-inspiring scene.
