Description

IC 1274, IC 4684, IC4685 and NGC 6559 locate at a distance of about 5000 light-years from Earth, in the constellation of Sagittarius. The shape of these nebula is interesting. It looks like a giant foot measured in light years. It is also officially my first subject completely shot in our newly open observatory(WTO) in west Texas. Comparing to early July,  the weather cooperates better. I was able to complete this object really quick together with couple of other subjects.
