NGC 6729 is a reflection/emission nebula (star-forming region) located some 424 light-years away in the constellation of Corona Australis (The Southern Crown). It is part of one of the closest stellar nurseries to Earth. The Corona Australis Molecular Cloud is a dusty dark molecular cloud just north of one of its two brighter stars Beta Coronae Australis. Within it are stars at the earliest stages of their lifespan.
