Description

Corona Australis Nebula

Corona Australis Nebula is a bright reflection nebula, about 420 light years distant, formed by several bright stars which produce a characteristic color as blue light reflected by the cosmic dark cloud of dust. The cloud is a star-forming region with clusters of young stars embedded within it.

The nebula consists of several nebulous regions, NGC 6726/NGC 6727, and NGC 6729.

NGC 6723 is a globular star cluster located some 29,000 light-years away from Earth, and spans about 65 light-years in size.

Revision B: Complete reprocess with Photoshop Lab color

I was enthusiastic to test how lab mode will improve this image after learning about this mode and how to use it from a good friend. In this revision stars are less saturated and smaller and their colors are much better all over the image. I also think the dust color is more correct.

I would like your comments about the 2 different results.
