Corona Australis Region

Rather than impatiently post a pic after one night's run, I thought I'd "save" subs over a few nights for a slightly deeper piccy. Can't do it for comets, but for deep sky it seems like a plan.

This is my rendition of the Corona Australis region. A very pretty area of sky, it seems to have everything - A globular cluster NGC6723, some blue reflection nebula NGC6726, IC4812, a nebula that looks like a comet NGC6729 and dark nebula that blocks starlight.

Skywatcher BD ED100 at F7.2 with Orion 0.8x focal reducer, 347 x 1 minute subs unguided taken over 5 nights, HEQ5 pro, Pentax K-5.

Didn't I have some trash running through the frames! I caught several satellites, an aircraft and an asteroid 426 Hippo!
