Description

NGC 6871 Is a Open Star Cluster with WR134 Wolf-Rayet Star with a beautiful section of Nebula.  NGC 6871 is a small, young open cluster in the constellation of Cygnus. The cluster has fewer than 50 members, most of which are blue and white stars. Besides the star cluster in the center there is a lot of dark nebulae. It is located around 6,000 light-years from Earth. NGC 6871 was born in the same giant molecular cloud with at least six other open clusters. I really like the structure and dark nebula in this region as well.
