      NGC 6729 A Southern Stellar Nursery

      NGC 6729 A Southern Stellar Nursery

      NGC 6729 is both an emission and reflection nebula in the constellation Corona Australis. It's located 424 light-years from Earth. There's a ton of gas and dust in this area, thus making it one of the closest stellar nurseries to Earth. Most of the young stars that are, and have, formed are still obscured by the massive molecular clouds.

      This is a One-Click Observation from Telescope Live's PlaneWave CDK24 "light bucket" in El Sauce, Chile. I was very surprised at the amount of detail, since it's only 2 subs each LRGB @ 600s.

      Anyway, hope ya like it!
