Aside from the overall splendor of the image, there is a really neat
elongated HII region adjacent to a reflection nebula over near the left
edge. Don't think I've ever seen that before. Seems like it would make a
cool image for those shooting at more magnification. Maybe there's one out
there already.
âThat is or is at NGC 6559. (Also carries three IC numbers.) The nebulosity
covers the south end of a "zigzag" pattern of stars. âMy notes say
visually easiest with an O-III filter. (Observed with 6-inch and 8-inch
RFT refractors.)
