Corona Australis region

This is 3.6 hours of a region in Corona Australis (The Southern Crown) that contains globular cluster NGC6723, blue reflection nebula NGC6726 / NGC6729, dark nebula and dusty nebula. This is the first time I've been able to capture the dusty nebula. It's a tricky one to process and it seems my framing could have been better if I had panned down a bit more.

Capture details: Bintel 8" F4 Newtonian, Baader MPCC MKIII, HEQ5 Pro unguided, 429 x 30 seconds, Pentax K-5. Poor K-5. Too many of these will kill the shutter.

Pesky satellites (or aliens) crossed the field numerous times!
