NGC6726 Et al. - Nebulae in Corona Australis

[Ryderscope]

We present herewith our latest astro image being of the very busy and complex star forming region in Corona Australis. We have just about everything in the field from a scattering of galaxies, a prominent globular cluster, reflection and emission nebula, Herbig-Haro objects and much brown dusty stuff.

Approximately 12 hours of exposures with the Tak TSA120 @ f5.6 and QSI683 ws8 camera.

Great image of a very interesting area. Love the colour rendition.



(I'm very jealous - I can't even get to my equipment because it is nicely tucked up out of reach due to Melbourne's lockdown.....:mad2:)

Lovely image, but who’s the “we”?

[gregbradley]

A super image Rodney.

Thanks everyone.

Who’s the we? Well, really just me but my wife always has a look over the aesthetics and colour scheme prior to publishing :D

[Peter Ward]

A bit like my old office window...I really enjoyed the view :)

A cracking rendition. :thumbsup:

[LewisM]

Tak-a-licious I reckon :)

[Andy01]

Late to the party but echoing all the above sentiments- crackerjack image Rodney! :thumbsup:

Superb image Rodney, one of my favourite areas

[Placidus]

Magnificent. The framing, composition, contrast, colour, depth, sharpness are all great.

[Ryderscope]

Many thanks to all and yes we do enjoy our Tak scopes. Great investments and wonderful toys. Thanks for the video link Andy, that was most entertaining. And I do actually sit back and take in the image as well :)

[Stonius]

Beautiful Image there Rodney. Great dust detail and beautiful rendition of the reflection nebulae.



But is it just me that sees this?

Excellent observation Markus, how did I not see this before I wonder? :)

Now if I could only 'unsee' it ;)

Clear skies,
Rodney

Excellent and beautiful rendition of this classic field Rod, must be very satisfying to sit back and look at with a big satisfied smile on your face :thumbsup: :D

Thanks Mike, yes I did sit back and admire this one for a while. I guess there is good reason that many are drawn to this area as it make for a spectacular setting.

[codemonkey]

Really nice Rodney! Congrats on the top pick too.

Super image Rodney!

Thanks Lee and Tim.

Superbly done Rodney, I love the colour balance & resolution with NGC 6723 & the brighter stars not being blown out. This will be a reference image for me.
Cheers,
Tony

[Camissa]

Wow. Amazing work. I love the colors.

CS,
Ecki

[Ryderscope]

Thanks Tony/Ecki, it was worth paying extra attention to the processing to make sure the star profiles and colours work well.

[Paul Haese]

That is better than my version in my opinion. Love the detail in all the reflection nebula.

[mswhin63]

Excellent image.
A whole lot better than my version as well, plus at the same magnification as well. I think the point is I need a lot more data, and better night skies or filter. I have put my image on hold now till I can get more data.

[Ryderscope]

Thanks Malcom and Paul, this has certainly been a popular target this season. It has been good to see everyone’s different approach.

[ChrisV]

Top pick ! That's a lovely rendition.

[Ryderscope]

Thank you Chris. Appreciate the thought.
