Description

This has been one of the easiest images to process to date probably because it was taken on my night under Bortle 1 skies.

This is The Corona Australis nebula which lies alongside the Milky Way, and it contains many interesting deep-sky objects, such as the dark nebula, known as the Corona Australis Molecular Cloud, which is among the closest star-forming
regions to our Solar System, the reflection nebula NGC 6729 just to the right of the boomerang looking cloud and NGC 6726/6727 just below it along with many others and is located about 420 light years away.
