The Coronae Australis Molecular Cloud is one of the closest molecular clouds to us, located about 430 light-years away, and contains many star-forming regions and reflection nebulae.

 

At the center of this complex lies the Coronet cluster, led by the star R Coronae Australis, which contains about a dozen young stars.

 

There are also many galaxies in the photo, the largest galaxy in the photo is the spiral galaxy PGC 62700, which is 112 million light-years away from us.

 

Next to the nebula we can also see the Chandelier star cluster, which, however, is in no way connected to the nebula itself, located as much as 28 thousand light-years away from us.
