Constellation Musca in Milky Way

I was able to capture the constellation Musca before it disappears for the season behind my trees. But perhaps I could finish this constellation by adding two very small clusters open to the gallery, weather permitting.

I centered Musca and its brightest star is also centered on the image, it is Alpha Muscae shining with the brightness of 20 000 Sun for a diameter which is four times higher.

Musca is close to Coalsack and the Southern Cross, whose main star is Alpha Crucis (Acrux), the blue giant shining brightly. At the border, the two clusters NGC 4815 et 4463 belong to Musca.

The globular cluster NGC 4372, at the end of the molecular cloud "Dark Doodad Nebula", has been published here https://astrob.in/359929/0/

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
