NGC 6729

NGC 6729 is a Reflection Nebula located in the constellation of Corona Australis. The picture shows NGC 6729 – the small yellowish fan shaped object – a variable reflection and emission nebula, which is powered by R Coronae Australis (R CrA), an irregular variable star.
NGC 6726, NGC 6727 and IC 4812 show a striking complex of reflection nebulae that produce the characteristic blue color, as light from the region’s young hot stars is reflected by the cosmic dust.
Bernes 157 (on the left bottom corner) is a dark nebula that is so dense that stars inside the nebula and behind it cannot shine through.
