Wide field Of the Southern Cross

This is some thing I have always wanted to take after I took it on Feb 2019 this is purely us under southern skies. this is never seen in the northern hemisphere only seen south of the equator and why you cant miss them as they are so bright in the night sky.







So I used my 105mm Nikon lens to take a 3 shot panorama of the area over the last three night. The Points of Interest is what we see every night the Southern Cross and the Pointers not forgetting the head of the Emu between them both. The detail in the shot was an outstanding bonus but certainly no spectacular nebula in the shot its all about the stars and there is plenty of them. This was 80 shots a night for the three night getting each panel together. Each night it was a manual focus
