Description

A wide field of the extreme south, the bright star at top is Achernar, at bottom left Canopus. In the field the largs and small Magellanic clouds. The South Pole is at bottom right, surrounded by IFN. If you look closely, you may find the trapeze of 4 stars marking the south pole in your polarscope. Hard to detect :-)
