Description

A 2 panel mosaic of the region of the Milky Way including the Coalsack nebula, Crux and the Carina nebula. I used a homemade bracket and belt drive to allow the camera lens to be auto focused by the ASIAIR Mini. My first target with this setup. Shot from Leigh Creek, Hawker and Bendelby in South Australia.
