Object - NGC 6559 seen in the lower part of the image is an emission nebula located in the constellation of Sagitarius. It lies at a distance of around 5000 light years. Some reflection nebula exists which shows as blue nebula. It is a lovely and fascinating area to image.

Notes - Reasonably happy with this image, it could always be better but for now I am happy.
