Description

An interesting molecular cloud 450 light-years away in the region of Corona Australis, containing reflection nebulae NGC 6726/6727/6729 and IC 4812.

A globular cluster 28,000 ly away, NGC 6723 was also captured in the frame, as well as a few spiral galaxies millions of lys away.

Three Herbig Haro objects shooting out matter from the newborn stars could be identified when enlarged.

This is the very first capture with my new iOptron GEM45 mount and QHY168C camera and I'm more than satisfied with the purchase.

24x300s, a total integration time of 2 hours under a bortle 2 sky.
