An awesome all-sky view of the southern summer stars from iTelescope.net from their location at Siding Spring in Australia. You can see the southern Milky Way from the two bright stars of Centaurus, at left, moving right to the Southern Cross and the Coalsack, into the thick star fields of Carina and Vela. Sirius and Orion are at right. The Magellanic Clouds at lower left. And at top you see the full constellation Leo and brilliant Jupiter just a few days past opposition. Just to the lower right of Jupiter, you can see the faint fuzzy patch of the Beehive Cluster. At extreme right are the bright stars Castor and Pollux in the constellation Gemini. A great image for armchair stargazers.
