APOD 2.8

Stars and Dust in Corona Australis: http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap150108.html

The dust clouds seen here block light from background stars in the Milky Way. This telescopic vista is less than 500 light-years away toward the northern boundary of Corona Australis, the Southern Crown. The reflection nebulae, known as NGC 6726, 6727, and IC 4812 create a blue color as light from hot stars. I love the blue color produced from the stars and dust.
