The faint red star in the center of the red circle, to the lower left from the center point between Alpha and Beta, and southwest of Alpha, is Proxima Centauri, intensely red, smaller in size, weaker in brightness and a distant third element in a triple star system with the main close pair forming Alpha Centauri. Taken with Canon 85mm f/1.8 lens with 11 frames stacked, each frame exposed 30 seconds.
