The Jewel Box NGC4755

Field centered on R.A. 12h 50' & Dec. -60° 20'

 

Very close to the Mimosa (ßCrux), the bright star in the left, in this rich star field lays this real gem of the sky, very bright and beautiful in the eyepiece of the telescope. The big dark cloud in the left is part of the Coal sack complex. Click on NGC4755 location above to see an enlargement of the area or click here.
