| 356663 | 2005-05-20 02:46:00 | :D and then we got to see the cluster of 1milion stars on the left hand side of southern cross star...multiple colours....... :D beetle This is the Southern Jewelbox Cluster, also known as NGC 2516. It is located in the Crux constellation, better known to us as the Southern Cross. This cluster is magnificent. Glad you saw Jupiter too. That must be quite a large telescope for the detail you saw. Great fun. |
