Corona Australis Molecular Cloud

Apart from my lazy disregard for flats and the need to crop in, I'm pretty happy with this 2.5 hour session on this stunning region of deep space. Away from the flashy and crowded milky way regions, the Corona Australis Molecular cloud is a beautiful mix of dark and reflection nebulas, binary stars and a globular cluster.

Celestron 9.5" / 30 x 5m / QHY12 RBG CCD / UHC Filter / PHD2 Guiding / Hyperstar3 F2 reducer

Thanks! Yes the limits aren't quite big enough for the QHY12 CCD output! Here's one thats twice as big as the forum upload, but half as big as the original for sanity.

Apart from the fact that the globular cluster is small (they should be BIG!!!!! ), wonderful capture.

That's pretty cool for a lazy photographer Dylan. Well done.

Hehe thanks, and thanks too Trev.

Even omega centauri looks kind of the small with the hyperstar FOV. Attached rough outline of it for this target in the attachment. Works well for big stuff like this.
