Southern Cross to Carina
I used a program called Sequator to stack 12 5-second exposures taken without tracking. On the left are the Southern Cross and the Coalsack, and on the right are the Carina Nebula and the large open clusters that surround it. Taken from my south-facing hotel window in Gisenyi, Rwanda on 2018 June 16. (12 frame composite: Nikon D5500, Nikon AF 50mm f/1.8D at f/2.8, 5 seconds, iso 3200)
