This image has some quite nice features, showing a lot of the dust lanes in the vacinity of Eta Carinae and the Southern Cross. The Southern Cross is just out of FOV at the bottom. The Coal Sack is visible at the bottom.

This was taken piggybacked on my old 4.5" Newtonian reflector, manually guided.
