NGC6729 WIDEFIELD (LRGB)
NGC 6729 is a reflection/emission nebula in the Corona Australis constellation. NGC 6729 is situated south of the celestial equator and, as such, it is more easily visible from the southern hemisphere. It was discovered by Johann Friedrich Julius Schmidt in 1861. This fan-shaped nebula opens from the star R Coronae Australis toward the star T CrA to the south-east.
