The bright star on the left top corner is Antares (Alpha Scorpii). The other bright star just in the center of the image is Alpha Centauri. Next black spot to the right is Coalsack, and Southern Cross (Crux) is then to right and slightly up from the Coalsack. The bright spot on the right is Eta Carinae nebula. The bright nucleus of Milky Way in Sagittarius is to the left from the left edge of the picture, i.e. remains just outside of this picture. (I also took close-up´s of Southern Cross and Eta Carinae Nebula with a 55 mm Takumar lens.)
