This lovely object is now beaming at 15th magnitude in the constellation of Crater low in the southern sky. There is no gas seen here, just a yellowish tint due to dust. Numerous faint galaxies dot the background field. This is an hour exposure with the 10 inch Orion Astrograph, a Baader MPCC, and ST10xme CCD.
