Sh2-86 v2 w WM

Sh2-86, NGC 6820 and 6823

 

One of the guys from our astronomy club, the The Chagrin Valley Astronomical Society, sent me this target as a suggestion. I took one look and moved it up on my short list. Does not seem to be imaged very often.

 

NGC 6820 is a small reflection nebula near the open cluster NGC 6823 in Vulpecula . The reflection nebula and cluster are embedded in a large faint emission nebula called SH2-86. M27, the Dumbbell Nebula, is found three degrees to the east.

 

I may have to revisit this object in the future.
