The handle of the "teapot" part of Sagittarius is just to the right of the windmill's vane.

Very nice! I really like long exposures.

Nice shot. Especially the way you got that meteor to provide an action element.

beautiful pic. with a 6 second exposure i bet that isnt a meteor tho, they move too fast. more likely a satellite.

Thanks to all for the kind words.
Bill, yes it is the Milky Way.
Tx fire, yes it's a meteor, the half-second that it appeared was within the 6 seconds that the shutter was open. I have hundreds of shots in my "digital trash can" of satellites and airplanes...and lots of "just" stars
6 seconds is about the max amount of time you can take a shot without the stars "trailing" in the exposure. Unless you have an ultra wide lens like 11mm, then the trails aren't as noticeable.
