NGC6820 is a reflection nebula located 6000 light-years away and stretching 50 light-years across. It is surrounded by Sharpless 2-86, a faint emission nebula, which is also used as an alternative name. The open cluster at the center is NGC6823. North is at the top.

Comment: 08-11-2018, Tierra del Sol, CA, below average transparency, dew; faint nebulosity merits much more total exposure time.
