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.

Post Script This is a new shot I chose not to add but to replace . This is all 130 images Stacked In Sequator once I learned how to set it up a far cry from what Deep Sky Stacker could do. I feel a little happier I can get the shots I want .
