Description

This is a SHO version of the region around NGC 6823 and SH2-86 in Vulpecula, presented in an Orange-Blue palette (by use of Green SCNR on a straight SHO image).

The area shows very strong emission in HA, but is fairly weak in [OIII] emission - with the notable exception of the small PN "Lan 21" (Kronberger PN J1944.9+2245) which stands out like a blue beacon to the right of the frame. There is also another tiny PN located in the bottom right (south-east) of the frame - this is PN G059.7-01.0 with a diameter of 35", which is referenced in Sabin et. al. 2014 (Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, Volume 443, Issue 4, 1 October 2014, Pages 3388–3401, [url=-"https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stu1404"]https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stu1404[/url]).
