Hi All,

Sharing with you a quickie image of my Jewel Box Cluster. It is a open star cluster located in the constellation Crux, given the designation "Kappa Crucis".

It's windy, and the seeing is horrible, BUT the sky is crystal clear, so I picked a easy and bright target so that a clear sky wasn't wasted... it's a bit soft, but the best guiding I was getting was according to PHD2 was between 1.9 & 2.2" RMS.

Imaged on my C8 at f6.3 with the QHY 268M in LRGB.

3hours and 50 minutes of luminance subs and 59 minutes of RGB color data.

Clear Skies,
MG
