Object: SH2-86/NGC6820/NGC6823 – 2019 (HST Palette)
An area of nebulosity surrounding the open star cluster NGC6823 in Vulpecula containing the reflection nebula NGC6820. The region is characterized by pillars of dense gas that lie on the edges of a cavity eroded by UV radiation from the cluster's hot, young stars.
- Magnitude: 9
- Constellation: Vulpecula
- Apparent dimensions (V): 40 arcmins
- Designations: SH-86/NGC6820/NGC6823
- Distance: 6,000 ly (1,800 pc)
This image was done using the HST or Hubble Space Telescope Palette which is accomplished by combining sub frames using three narrowband filters that capture light produced by glowing hydrogen (Ha), oxygen (OIII) and sulfur (SII) present in the nebula. Green is assigned to hydrogen, blue to oxygen and red to the sulfur.

NGC 7635, also called the Bubble Nebula and Sharpless 162, is a Hydrogen II region emission nebula in the constellation Cassiopeia. It lies close to the direction of the open cluster Messier 52. The "bubble" is created by the stellar wind from a massive hot, 8.7 magnitude young central star SAO 20575.
