NGC 6723 & friends
Star forming regions are simply unbeaten my favorite objects in the sky! Just imagine the tremendous forces at work there!
On this image you can see the globular cluster NGC 6723 and the following objects: IC 4812, NGC 6726, NGC 6727 and NGC 6729. Additionally, being this region a starbirth site, we can see several Herbig Haro objects. Most of these HH objects are usually not (or just barely) seen in LRGB images.
