NGC6820 - A Stellar Nursery

            ear the well known Dumbbell Nebula, in the constellation Vulpecula (the Little Fox), lies a lesser known emission nebula named Sh2-86, listed in the Sharpless catalogue. This area is an active star formation location, which can be seen by the young cluster (NGC 6823) within the bluish oxygen rich nebula near the center and, nearby, small black clouds called Bok globules are the material from which a star may emerge.

This image is a cropped and rescaled version of my previous image of this area, focusing in the brighter and smaller details. Secondary effects of lack of new data... 😊

Shot at Barcarena, Portugal (Bortle 8) on the 17th, 18th, 19th and 22nd of July 2022.
