Description

The bright HII emission region is Sharpless 37, also known as IC 1284. The two reflection nebulae are NGC 6590 (upper, also known as vdB 118) and NGC 6589 (lower, also known as vdB 119). Both of these nebula are being illuminated by bright double stars. Adjacent to this area is the dense star field of the Small Sagittarius Star Cloud, better known as M24. The dark nebula that runs throughout this image, LDN 315, includes a number of dark globules.
