This dataset captures NGC 6726, also known as the Anteater Nebula, a reflection nebula in the Corona Australis region. The data comprises 74 unfiltered frames at 180 seconds each, totaling 3.7 hours of integration time. Acquisition took place between April 19 and 24, 2026, using a Sky-Watcher 200PDS telescope paired with a ZWO ASI585MC Air camera on a Sky-Watcher EQ6 Pro mount. The reflection nebula gets its informal name from the distinctive shape formed by its dust lanes and illuminated regions.
