Hover your mouse over each blue dot for the name of the object, or click on the dot for a detail page. This map was created using the all-sky hydrogen-alpha map produced by Douglas Finkbeiner from data collected by the WHAM, VTSS and SHASSA hydrogen-alpha surveys.

The Norma region is a window deep into the inner galaxy and relatively free of obscuring dust clouds. Many of the objects visible here are located at a distance of about 3000 parsecs.
