Angular distance between alpha & gamma Crux, plaese

Hi all,

Can someone help me out with this angular distance, please?

I can manage to squeeze the whole of Crux into my 80mm f/5 achro with a 2" focuser & pushing the focal length of the eyepiece to give me upto 6.3deg FOV, but I'm curious to know the actual angular separation of these two.

Alpha & gamma Crux just squeeze in north-south & delta-Jewel Box in the east-west too. Amazing what can be achieved by pushing the envelop with this little scope.

Mental.
