Exposed for 10h with #Redcat71 and #ZWO ASI6200MC camera. Do visit the large version flic.kr/p/2siFeWb #astronomy #astrophotography #deepsky #space

Consists of objects NGC 6727, 6726, 6729 and IC 4812. The globular cluster is NGC 6723 and much furter out.
Variable star R CrA is in the white nebulosity near the 'Eyes' of the Anteater, and southwest is a nice Herbig-Haro object, HH100. It is a new star that is getting born.
