RCW85

This a very small nebula halfway between the two pointers in the shot below.

Wide field Of the Southern Cross

RCW85 Is the small white part a reflection nebula at the top of the Nebula.

Even though is not time to do RGB shots I am none the less trying to take as many as I can of all filters so I can see if the filter wheel defect goes away.

Small but very effective if you look between the two main stars in the bottom photo(left) you can make out this nebula.
