If you opened Inverza in the last few days and saw the Milky Way detector score above zero for the first time since last September, that is not a bug. The galactic core is back. For European photographers, that is a bigger deal than it sounds.
From November through February in Europe, the galactic center is in the sky only during daylight. By early April the geometry shifts: the core rises late at night in the southeast, still low. By May and June it climbs to its meridian between midnight and 3 a.m. By September, it sets earlier and earlier, and by October it is done again.
The post compares the European view (core at 15-22° altitude, horizon subject, no Magellanic Clouds, no Carina) with the southern-hemisphere view (core nearly overhead, year-round window, Magellanic Clouds and the full Emu dark lane visible).
