Central Milky Way Pan @ 4X via Unfilmed Night Vision in Real Time

We pan across the richest part of the Milky Way near the center of the galaxy where numerous dark dust lanes block the glow of vast star clouds. Regions include the constellations of Scorpius, Sagittarius, Ophiuchus, and Aquila.

Shot from Mount Pinos, Calif, with a Panasonic GH3 camera, a Gen 3 unfilmed P43 phosphor image intensifier, and a Litton 108mm/f1.5 night vision lens.
