Description

Here is my latest image captured late June this year; A nebula complex located near the center of the galaxy. The two bright blue clouds are NGC 6589 and NGC 6590 and the two bright stars are part of a loose cluster known as NGC 6595. The diffuse magenta cloud in the center (IC1284) is an HII region which emits visible red light. This region of our galaxy is rich with dust clouds and young stars which together produce the stunning reflection nebulae we see in the image
