Description

Here is the entire constellation of the Southern Cross and most of all its remarkable objects mentioned by astrometry.

I have already photographed all these objects, and most have been published. The last ones will follow.

Crux is the smallest of the 88 constellations. It was previously part of Centaurus.

The Southern Cross is an important asterism of the southern hemisphere because it allows to find the south pole celestial.
