NGC 6067 Open star cluster in Norma
Photo description / processing
One of the densest star clouds of the Milky Way is the Norma cloud, in which this open cluster is located. It is located 5000 light-years from Earth. It was photographed from July 6 to August 2 remotely in Namibia. About 13 hours were spent on the H-alpha channel to bring out the reddish background of hydrogen clouds. At the same time, two planetary nebulae were worked out — one slightly above the cluster, the other to the right and below (a small pink ring)
