I agree the contrasting Mimosa and DY Cruxis is a fine sight.

Hi Steve ..Yes Im getting up early around 430 am to have a look..Yes, I thought the Fringe Killer may help with glare , Halation etc from the very bright primary ..but as you suggest maybe not needed!
Will report back; having a look at midnight.
PS: I will be purchasing a doublet or triplet of about or over 130mm, to deal with these difficult denizens of the night sky!
