Photo description / processing

The open cluster M26 in the constellation Scutum is located approximately 3.5 degrees southwest of the well-known Wild Duck Cluster (M11). Of course, M26 is less spectacular than M11, which is why it is photographed relatively infrequently. Balcony in Kharkiv, red zone light pollution.
