Description

This is an interesting combination of an Ha emission nebula with several reflection nebulae associated with it.   The massive central double star HIP 89647A is also illuminating a large Olll region, producing the blue tint in front of the red nebula.  Also down the left side of the red nebula, 4 more stars are illuminating more Olll regions.  The 2 bright reflection nebulae in the bottom left corner are NGC 6590 and NGC 6589, one of which has a distinct hole in it.  All of this is a close neighbour to the dense Small Sagittarius Star Cloud, M24.
