Small but rich: Crux at 135mm

2hour stack of 2min subs on Samsung NX500 dslr.

Some interesting facts on the smallest of constellations:
1. Crux has one star with known planets

2. Apparently, it used to be visible in the Northern Hemisphere. In ancient Greece it formed the hind legs of the constellation Centaurus. By the year 400 AD, the constellation was not visible from most of Europe anymore.

3. The coal sack is the adjacent dark nebula and is regarded as the most conspicuous dark nebula in the sky.

Nicely done. You've shown how the coal sack, which looks so dark to the naked eye, is awash with stars. "Oils ain't oils, Sols" takes on a new meaning with all those sols.

The colours of gamma and epsilon crucis are lovely. Nice hint of blue in alpha also.
