Corona Australis Wide Angle

Hey all - this is a wide-angle view of the Corona Australis molecular cloud.

The FOV is some 12 odd degrees on the long axis but I still didn't manage to fit it all in - what a monster of an object!

This is 45 x 90 second subs through the Samyang 135mm telephoto at f3.2.
Tracked (but unguided) on the "lightweight setup" (my 33 year old Vixen SP mount) which is still going strong despite being dragged to the USA two years ago for the eclipse.

Higher res view here at: Astrobin

Didn't get as much data on this as as I was hoping (originally planned to capture this at SPSP but the weather didn't play nice) so hope you like it anyway.

Pete.
