Corona Australis region

The Corona Australis Molecular Cloud, a dark molecular cloud with many embedded reflection nebulae, including NGC 6729, NGC 6726–7, and IC 4812. A star-forming region of around 7000 M☉,it contains Herbig–Haro objects (protostars) and some very young stars. About 430 light years (130 parsecs) away, it is one of the closest star-forming regions to the Solar System.

GSO 10" F4 Newtonian, ZWO ASI 183mm Pro cooled to -10C, Red 508 x 30 seconds, Green 426 x 30 seconds, Blue 452 x 30 seconds, total 1386 x 30 seconds or about 11.6 hours and it's still screaming for more. I wasted 2 nights with poor framing. The observatory wet with dew after every session.
