Description:
Riding high in the south on warm summer evenings is this area in Corona Australis, the goal here was a composition which not only covered the globular NGC6723 on the upper right, but the dark nebula extensions perfectly aligned with the lower left corner. NGC6726 the blue reflection nebulosity is upper right of center, with dim red Herbig Haro objects near by forming new solar systems. Note the two butterfly like wings formed by the two loops of dark cloud on each side of NGC6726. This composition was also meant to carfully include those features as well. Technical Data: 10" f/3.9 Newtonian astrograph, Atik 16200 CCD, LRGB = 1 hours total, Payson, Az.
