Milky Way from Singapore
yK 
The brightest part of the Milky way is situated at the sprout of the Tea-pot or Sagittarius. On a relatively clear night ( with Moon out of the way) the bright knots of the Milky way can be seen easily in real-time from the b/w 15" TV using the ultra-sensitive un-cooled watec-902H running at 25 frame per sec.  On June 26 '03, about half an hour after mid night, not a cloud was seen and I let my video walkman DV recorder run.  
<- June 26 '03  Milky way  ( Sagittarius) just outside my window as 'seen' through the  IR-sensitive Watec-902H /f0.95 lens. The tight group of stars in upper  right center is Lagoon Nebulae. Note the 'dark' fingers of inclusions running into the bright cores. 

This frame shows M7 as well ->
<- July 6 '03  around 11:15pm .  Moon was low in western horizon and  the sky was hazy resulted in a  grainier look.   The dark regions of the Milky way   resembled the map of Scandinavia/Europe ! (  40x15 frames) . Hot pixels(3) creating short streaks  were visible near the right edge.
