Hi Bernard, another great image. Thanks for sharing it.
There is a lot to look at in this composition. Tons of background stars, a
globular cluster, and lots of other bits. The annotation shows how rich
this picture really is. There are some big bright spots, ie lower right,
that don't have any annotation information. What are those?
I presume the dark area slightly left of center is dust, but that is a very
strange looking circular object with three tiny extensions in the gap of the
dust cloud. Do you know what that is? Maybe just more dust.
Great image, and very well done. Now that you have access to the southern
hemisphere, you have lots of new targets.
All the best,
Rob Baldwin

Hi,
This is a wide field image of a nebula complex in the constellation Corona
Australis. It is sometimes referred to as NGC 6726, which is one of the blue
reflection nebulae in the top left portion of the image. This image hosts
several reflection nebulae, including NGC 6726, NGC 6727,NGC 6729, and IC
4812, as well as globular cluster NGC 6723. This nebula complex is about 500
light years away in the constellation Corona Australis, the Southern Crown.
You can mouse over the picture in the link for an annotated version of the
image or click on the link below the picture.
Suggestions and comments welcomed.
