Southern Cross

Southern Cross
These shot where taken last night after a few night trying to find the Octans to no avail . you can see them in a shot but are not visible to the eye. I set up south plus magnetic deviation and set latitude. This is made up of 44 shot ISO 5000 20 sec F4.5 with a 3 second shutter delay 160mm 70-200 F4 . this is stacked in Deep Sky Stacker with the back shots of 200 dark frames , 200 light Frames and 200 Bias frames.

As I am a true beginner here I have tried to edit to what I saw on the net as I have no idea at all. A night and a days work . Enjoy a true Southern view the cross is laying on its side. the Black just below and right is the Head Of the Emu in the milky way.

Thank you George one of the things to try out the 150-600 on The Jewel Box cluster (NGC4755) and I now know where to find it. The laser pointer makes it easy to see the star you want to take one of the best finds and ideas. its hard work looking through the view finder to see them the laser stands out in live view big time. two shot set up after that.

I took this last as I was packing up to see just what it would look like close up rather than the 14mm shot all the time. even the Emu's head a beak Bottom Right looks very different to what I would have thought. Glad you like the shot.
