The Southern Crown

Image Description and Details : Corona Australis Nebula (NGC 6729) is a reflection nebula located 420 light years away from Earth in the constellation of Corona Australis. This nebula is the result of some bright stars that are inside a large and dusty cloud. It was the third variable nebula to be found and has been observed for over a century. It's considered a variable nebula because it changes its apparent brightness due to changes in the stars that illuminate it.

I took this picture on two different nights, resulting in a total of 5h15min of exposure.
