StArnaud Ramble Series 31 - Alpha Crucis
Nothing like caching the Southern Cross while under the Southern Cross.
Alpha Crucis (α Crucis,) is a multiple star system 321 light-years from the Sun in the constellation of Crux and part of the asterism known as the Southern Cross. With a combined visual magnitude of 0.76, it is the brightest object in Crux and on average the 13th brightest star in the night sky. It is the southernmost first-magnitude star, 2.3 degrees more southerly than Alpha Centauri.
To the naked eye Alpha Crucis appears as a single star, but it is actually a triple star system.
This StARS will take you along some Farmers track and back roads around the outer St.Arnaud Area.
