Description

NGC 6820 is an emission nebula in the constellation Vulpecula. It surrounds the open star cluster NGC 6823, about 6000 light-years from Earth.

I was surprised at how much signal I could get from this object with such a short integration time - I could only capture less than 2.5 hours before it was swallowed up by the trees. Bill Blanshan's HOO process icon did a great job at bringing out the details.
