Corona Australis Nebula's NGC 6726, 6727, 6729, and IC 4812

FINALLY!!! a clear night (well, for about an hour) 

and a chance to capture the Corona Australis Nebula complex. The fog rolled in just as I was imaging so I grabbed what I could. At least I managed to get 4 frames.

Canon 6D, 200mm f/5 Newtonian, 4 frames at 300 seconds, stacked in Sequator. Processed in PhotoShop's 'Camera Raw'.

Nice picture Ken, must be frustrating when nights are longer though.
We are a month past midsummer here so I'm checking the obsy out, found some wood rot in the main support for the rolling roof runners. Have repaired it but I may have to replace the whole section, well fixed in to the shed frame and 16 feet long, I've patched it up for now.

Thanks Harry.

Yeah, our damp cold winter is rotting some of our woodwork too. And some mold growing in Mikes Observatory.

It is frustrating having the best season (winter sky) and very long nights but only getting a couple of hours at most on the rare clear nights.
But we do what we can

It has been so long since we have had a clear night, I forget what to do. There have been a few nights with whispy. cirrus clouds. Maybe they cleared after midnight but that is way past my bedtime.
Nice image Ken.

Thanks Paul.
Yes clear sky is rare lately, but they say El Niño is coming which might give us months of clear sky.
