Description

I've always been a huge fan of the Milky Way and I had to opportunity to shoot the Coalsack this summer. This was shot with a Sigma 135mm lens stopped down to roughly f/3.5. I was able to get part of the Southern Cross in the shot with a-Crux almost centered in the image and Becrux down and to the right with d-crucis almost cutoff on the bottom of the shot (left of center).
