NGC 6727
18" (7/10/02 - Magellan Observatory, Australia): this is the north-northeast component of two very bright, similar reflection nebulae oriented SSW-NNE. Surrounds the variable star TY CrA and 1.5'-2.0' in diameter. The nebulae are in contact with overlapping halos forming a figure 8.
17.5" (7/29/92): bright, round, 1.5' diameter, surrounded variable star TY Coronae Australis (mag 9-10). Forms a pair with NGC 6726 in contact at the SSW end. See NGC 6726 for description.
8" (7/31/81): fairly bright circular halo surrounds star in contact with NGC 6726.
