I need an image of Souther cross

[leon]

Hi All,

Now this going to sound a bit strange, but then that probably
matches me.

I am in need of an image of the Southern Cross including the pointers, a reasonable tight wide field of that area.

I would take it myself, but that area is still a bit low on the horizon, and i need to use the image pretty soon.

The image wont by sold, misused or used in any inappropiate way, and is only for my benifit at home.

If someone would care to post an image like that, and give permission for it's use i would be very grateful.

Thanks Leon

If they are any good to you Leon you are welcome to use these two. Unfortunately the pointers are just out of FOV in both.

Thanks Paul, the first one might just do the trick, that's a hell of a nice image by the way.

Cheers leon

Here's one of my early attempts.
Not as good as Paul's but your welcome to this one too Leon.

And now for something completely different.........


(don't all groan at once at the quality and I did mean it to be out of focus!)

Hi Leon,

If you want something with fewer stars on it I give you my version. This was taken when I was just getting into astrophotography.

Thanks Andrew, and all you good people who have lent me the Southern Cross, do you want them back...only joshing.

Cheers leon
