Corona Australis dust cloud

This is image was inspired by a NASA APOD from 2018. My version was taken over many moonless nights through late July and early August as a 3 panel mosaic with 6 hours of subs per panel at 2 minutes exposure per sub. I used a Starizona Apex ED reducer on the Esprit 100ED to give me a relatively fast focal ratio of f/3.57 (after I finally got the spacing right!). My result isn't as good as the APOD I emulated but I'm not unhappy with the result.

A bigger version is on Astrobin at https://www.astrobin.com/k1c40y/
