The Galactic Centre Quintuplet Imaged with UFTI

 

** Figure **

The five red sources in the centre of the above image are the classical quintuplet in the galactic centre; the fainter red source just to the north is MGM5. The "Pistol" star - a mass-losing LBV - is the bright white star 20% of the way up from the bottom of the frame, centrally placed.
