It's my first mosaic of Corona Australis molecular cloud. Taken in Multiple night sessions between 14 Aug - 18 Aug 2023 of a total of 13 hours of integration, it's a two Panel Mosaic that covers the whole Corona Australis, a dark molecular cloud.
Epsilon Coronae Australis is the brightest example of a W Ursae Majoris variable in the southern sky. Lying alongside the Milky Way, Corona Australis contains one of the closest star-forming regions to the Solar System—a dusty dark nebula known as the Corona Australis Molecular Cloud, lying about 430 light years away.
