Coathanger to NGC 6820 (SS61 RMod).jpg
A rich starfield in the constellation of Vulpecula the Fox, in the Milky Way, with a mix of nebulosity. At bottom is the Coathanger asterism of stars, aka Collinder 399, or Brocchi's Cluster. At top left is the emission nebula NGC 6820. Other dark nebulas from the Lynds Dark Nebula catalogue populate the field. The blue glow above the Coathanger is reflection nebulosity which does not appear to have a catlogue number. A small reflection nebula around the blue stars at right is van den Burgh 126. The small round red emission nebula at lower left is Sharpless 2-82. The yellow star at top right is Anser, or Alpha Vulpeculae. The pervasive interstellar dust in the area tints the starfield yellow.
This is a stack of 10 x 6-minute exposures with the Sharpstar 61EDPH III refractor at f/4.4 and the filter-modified Canon R at ISO 800 on the Astro-Physics 600E mount autoguided with the MGEN III guider. No filter employed other than a UV/IR Cut filter.
