It goes to show that the "Coal Sack" is not as devoid of stars as one would think

These two images Jan, are beautiful!
I love the wide field images that nice lenses can put out, this one you have ain't too bad for 50 bucks.... it shows a bit of an artifact on brighter stars, but hell, pumping out images like this one of Crux.... who cares!
Lovely rendition of M20. You have your colours spot on and a lovely even, well balanced background.
Very successful Barambah expedition.
Top work!
All the best

Nice work, Jeanette!
Shows just how star dense it is around Crux.
And as Ron mentioned, more stars than you'd think in the Coal Sack.
Also, nice capture of Running Chicken Nebula (IC 2948) right of top centre.
Great contrast with Trifid Nebula.
