The Coronet Cluster, also known as the R CrA cluster after its best-known member, is a small open cluster located about 170 parsecs away in the southern constellation Corona Australis, isolated at the edge of the Gould Belt.

[1][2] It is 3.5 times closer to Earth than the Orion Nebula Cluster.

[3] The cluster's center is composed of mostly young stars.

[4] The variable T Coronae Australis is also a member, located just one arcminute from R CrA.
