Digitized sky survey 2 image of NGC 4755
A wide-field image of the region around NGC 4755 (the Jewel Box) constructed from data from the Digitized Sky Survey 2. The bright star is Mimosa, one of the four stars in the Southern Cross. The darkness towards the bottom of the image is part of the Coal Sack, a vast area of obscuring dust easily visible to the unaided eye. The field of view is approximately 2.8 degrees x 2.9 degrees, or about 40 times the area of the Full Moon.
