Hi all,
I spent an awful lot of time on this one and should probably have waited until the conditions were better. I think I definately need a better site!
This is a 15-part mosaic (2 hours each) of the Southern Cross taken with a Tak FSQ106ED at f3.7 and QHY8 riding on an EQ6 PRO. Over a dozen nights of imaging between terrible and mediocre conditions over March/April 2009.
No web page for it yet, but here are some links to various sizes.

All the best
