Description

In a region full of nebulas, these two open clusters, NGC 6242 and 6268, are immersed into this field of gas and nebulae. Like the case of the HII regions, in the lower part of the image, ionized by VdBH 78 and 75. This region is located near the "upper or lower" border or part of the Prawn nebula, depending on what is up or low, of course.
