Description

One of the highlights of our autumn skies, this view of the southern cross, the coalsack and the pointers also includes the carina nebula. The G stars Rigel Kent and Gacrux contrast with the WO beacons of the sky. If you know where to look this low power view also shows the galaxy NGC4595 hiding in its little triangle of stars.
