NGC6723, NGC6726
Amazing image of this reflection nebula, surrounded by a lot of space dust, with its little friend the globular cluster NGC6723. These two objects are neighbors only thanks to perspective, in fact the reflection nebula is "only" 500 l.y. far from us, instead the globular cluster is about 28400 l.y. far from us.
