Description

The emission nebula NGC6820 and open cluster NGC 6823 are located about 6,000 light years away and 3˚ west of the Dumbbell Nebula in Vulpecula. I managed to dredge these out of a very windy night at the Connecticut Star Party after throwing away a bunch of stretched frames and cleaning up the noisy result.
