Re: The vast "empty quarter" east of Sagittarius

Thanks Tony. On a more humble human-scale level, the effect of the apparent "empty quarter" east of Sagittarius is to add a bittersweet element to the richness of the southern summer sky with the Sagittarius/Scorpius/Ophicus region peaking about now at progressively earlier and earlier hours of the night: all too soon, that easily accessible richness to the south will give way to the much sparser "empty quarter, where it's much more work to extract smaller, fainter, and less showy celestial nuggets until Orion finally returns at a reasonable hour.
