Description

This is a wide field image of Coronae Australis or the southern crown along with NGC 6727, 6729 and IC 4812. The blue reflection comes from the radiation of the young variable stars embedded in dark dust clouds bordering Sagittarius. NGC 6723 is a Globular Cluster located in the constellation of Sagittarius. All these deepsky objects are situated in and around the southern part of the celestial equator.
