Astrophoto: Sharpless 86 – 07/22

8,5 hours of RGB and duo narrowband data. Processed with Pixinsight.

Sharpless 2-86
The H-II Emission Nebula Sharpless 2-86, red, in the foreground. In the middle the open cluster NGC 6823. Rights above the star cluster the small reflection nebula NGC 6820. The whole H-II region is often found with the name of the reflection nebula on the internet.

The main object in this picture is an object from the Sharpless Catalog: Sh 2-86, a midrange bright object without a Messier or NGC number. A catalog with only H-II emission nebulae. In the middle of the nebula is the the open cluster NGC 6823. An object with a visual brightness of 7,1 mag in a distance of about 6.000 lightyears and in the upper right of the cluster, the 0,5’x0,5′ small reflection nebula NGC 6820 with a visual brightness of 15 mag.
