Here is a wide field version of Corona Australis.

I took this on Monday night in cold temps at my dark site observatory in remote NSW Australia (I have kangaroos on my property - I can feel them looking at me at night from somewhere off in the darkness when I am outside!).

FSQ106N, Tak NJP mount, Sbig STL11000CM.

11 x 15 minutes at -30C.
