This is a framing of the southern Milky Way from the Southern Cross, Crux, at left, to the False Cross, with its stars in Vela and Carina, at right. In between is a third though upside-down cross, defined by stars in Carina, with blue Miaplacidus as the lower star of this cross. The red nebula is the Carina Nebula, NGC 3372. At the base of the False Cross at lower right below the star Avior is the naked eye star cluster NGC 2516. Below the Carina Nebula is the Southern Pleiades cluster, IC 2602. Beside the Southern Cross at left is the dark Coal Sack nebula. At lower left is the elongated Dark Doodad nebula in Musca. This is a stack of 10 x 4-minute exposures with the RF28-70mm lens at f/2.8 and 48mm, on the Canon Ra at ISO 800. It was on the MSM Nomad tracker. Taken on a superb night March 5, 2024 from Mirrabook Cottage, near Coonabarabran, NSW, Australia.
