Since my childhood I was fascinated with the night sky. Yesterday, I stayed on the beach at La Digue after the epic sunset and captured this amazing part of the southern sky! Crux (Southern Cross) is a constellation centred on five stars in a bright portion of the Milky Way. Like Ursa Major, whose bright pointer stars show the way to the North Star, the Southern Cross can be used to find the location of the Southern Celestial Pole, and has been used by navigators for centuries.

Really nice shot!! What settings did you use on your camera and were you using a tracking mount? I'm an astronomer, so please forgive me for the questions😊

Awesome shot Erika. If you dont mind me asking, what equipment did you use please. Is this type of shot possible with a telescope or do you need to use a star tracker? Thank you Erika...
