      NGC 6589

      NGC 6589 is a reflection nebula located in the constellation of Sagittarius, and it was discovered by Truman Safford on August 28, 1867. In August 1905, Edward Barnard listed it as IC 4690.

      Along with the dense stars of the Milky Way, this looks like a muppet monster of some sort. There are other targets in this image.
