    I have been contacted by somebody who is preparing a paper on the Southern Cross. They would like a nice photo of the constellation to use as an illustration – credit given, of course.

    Might anyone have a suitable image? Colour is preferred. This could be a shot just showing the area of the constellation itself, or a wider-field shot so long as Crux is clearly visible.

    All the best,

    Do you want them posted here or sent direct to you?

    Thanks Grant. The ideal way would be to post to you BAA Members Page and let me know you have done it – I can download from there. Alternatively (and this also goes for people who don’t have a Members Page) send directly to me via email. My email address is in the Journal, or use the “send email” button below my name.

    I will share any images I receive in the next week with the person who has raised the question and let them choose.

    All the best,

    Jeremy

    Two colour and one monochrome image added. There must be lots of BAA members with better pictures though…. Nik?

    I have a load of frames of the southern sky taken from a beach in Queensland but I’ve never got around to processing most of them since there was a lot of drifting cloud. They were all taken with a camera on a fixed tripod so the exposures are short. I have a set of Crux and I’ve uploaded one frame here. It did get a nice set of the LMC and this is the only set I have every processed. The final version is here. Timelapses of the rest are here.

    Also, in the “how far south can you see from the Canary Islands” here’s a picture of the top half of Crux on the horizon taken from La Palma.

    Nice pictures. Can the “False Cross” be seen on them?
