Description

Three bright nebulae NGC 6726, 6727 and 6729 make up this emission nebula in the heavy starfield within Corona Australis while near in Sagittarius is the NGC6723 Globular Cluster. With a very clear night for a few hours last night and early morning, went for these objects. The blue is a result of young stars reflected by the cosmic dust. Distance : 420 to 500 LY.
