Southern Cross 

After waiting three days with Bro P'Dai from Japan, we finally captured the Southern Cross amidst light pollution and clouds.
From here, the Southern Cross is easily visible on a clear day, just like the Big Dipper, but this time, since it was my friend's last night, we tried photographing it under poor skies.
The circle in the upper left is Omega Centauri. It certainly looks like a comet with a wide-angle lens.
The light pollution and some clouds this time couldn't be reduced with Siril's normalization, but were reduced with AP's normalization.

日本からのBro P'Daiと3日待ってやっと捕まえた光害と雲の中の南十字星。
ここかからは晴れていれば北斗七星を見るように普通に見える南十字星だが、今回は友人の最後の夜ということでダメな空の中撮影してみた。
左上の円はオメガケンタウリ。確かに広角だと彗星のように見えるな。
今回の光害と一部の雲はSirilのノーマライズでは軽減できず、APのノーマライズで軽減できた。
