The left panel is the Milky Way in summer and autumn.
This photograph was taken at Kiso Observatory using the fish-eye lens.
The lower left is east, the lower right south, the upper right west, and the upper left north.
Mars, which approached in autumn of 1988, is in the south.
Moreover, Jupiter is rising in the east.
The dark regions, which lie along the central line of the Milky Way,
express that there are a lot of dust and dark nebulae.
