Description

This is a moderate wide field of the Crux as seen in Brazil this time of the year. In this image one can see some of the coal sack, but the nice in my point of view is the quantity of stars present in this field.

This image has been captured using a Lens Canon EF-2 110mm f/2.8 stopped down to f/4 to improve CA.

The stack is as follows:

Luminance: 10x600sec bin 1x1

RGB: 4x 600 sec bin 1x1

The mount was guided.
