Crux, the Southern Cross Area (Chile May 2011) (135mm 5DII).jpg
The Southern Cross, Crux, and the dark Coal Sack nebula, plus associated star clusters in and around Crux — such as the Jewel Box, NGC 4755. With a telephoto lens to simulate a binocular field of view.
Technical:
This is a stack of 5 x 3 minute exposures at f/2.8 and ISO 800 with Canon 5D MkII and 135mm Canon lens. This field is 10º by 15º. Taken from Atacama Lodge, Chile, May 2011. A couple of the frames had light cloud which added the star glows naturally (no filter was employed here). Reprocessed in 2025.
