Description

The data comes from a Prodata set of Telescope Live, obtained with an ASA 500 Newtonian.

NGC 6726 and NGC 6727 - This spectacular reflection nebulae in Corona Australis are the result of a few bright stars caught up in a large, dusty cloud. The peculiar yellowish curved streak near the two bright reflection nebulae surrounds an intriguing object best seen in infrared light. It is R CrA, a young star still accreting interstellar material on to its surface. These compact nebulae are ejected from proto-stars during the later stages of star formation and sometimes appear in pairs, moving in opposite directions from the hidden star-forming region. The R CrA complex is about 500 light years distant, one of the nearest star-forming regions.
