Description

Field of B86 and NGC 6520 in Sagittarius.  1 hour of data, 4x5min each R, G, B.   
Imaged remotely from i Telescope's New South Wales site.   FOV a very large 238 by 238 arc minutes.  TAK FSQ ED 4" refractor at f/5 with Paramount PME mounting.   FLI Microline 16803 camera.  This field is very near the galactic center, which is just off the lower right corner.  There is also an interesting "double globular cluster", NGC6522-6528, in the lower part of the image, which is also very interesting in a telescope, as is B86-NGC6520.
