Description

The great nebula complex in the constellation Corona Australis at around 420 light years away. It's a beautiful nebulosity field featuring several reflection nebulas (NGC6726, NGC6727, NGC6729, IC4812) embedded in a much larger field of dark nebulosity that extends well beyond the field-of-view shown here. The cherry on the cake is the line-of-sight globular cluster (NGC6723) that I managed to include in my framing. The small background galaxy PGC 62667 can also be seen at the bottom of the frame. 
While I already imaged this nebula last year, I have since made improvements to my setup and processing so wanted to give it another go!
