Description

Beautiful emission nebula IC 1284 is located in constellation Sagittarius close to Messier 24. The HII region discovered by Edward Emerson Barnard in 1892 is accompanied by two blue reflection nebulae NGC 6599 and NGC 6590 resulting in a nice colour contrast.  The dark nebulae in the surroundings provide a nice structure to the image. 

Apologies to those who go blind because I may have overdone the colours ...

As usual the GHS script of ghsastro – astrophotography proved highly useful. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone.

Clear skies
