Description

This photo shows part of the Corona Australis constellation. This constellation is small compared to others, but it is a very beautiful naked eye formation. Several interesting objects can be found there, and one of them is a large dark spot in the center of the image, called Corona Australis Molecular Cloud. There are some reflection nebulae in its interior, which appear bluish. Also, there are faint arms spreading out of the Molecular Cloud.

Near the botton right corner there is a star cluster, easily seem with amateur telescopes.
