Description

Two globular clusters in the Sagittarius constellation, in the region denominated as Baade 's window. They are NGC 6528 and NGC 6522. In the same region we get the dark nebula Barnard 298.

I didn't know that the area was called the Baade window, a first explanation, of course in the wiki, at 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baade%27s_Window
It is quite interesting that this region allows to actually see through it towards the Galactic centre.
