This portion of the Milky Way in the southern hemisphere is very rich in nebulae and some star clusters, my favorite constellation "The southern cross" with its beautiful stars (Acrux, Mimosa, Gacrux and Imai) are the 4 main stars that they form this constellation which serves to find the south cardinal point by moving the central axis of the "cross" 3 and a half times.

We can also see the nebula of the keel or eta carina and below the cross the sack of coal or head of the "Choique" as the Mapuches knew it.

While taking these photos I was able to observe the passage of the International Space Station next to some Russian polar orbit satellites in the province of Rio Negro.
