New Nova Flares in Sagittarius - How to See it in Your Scope

New Nova Flares in Sagittarius – How to See it in Your Scope

The new nova in Sagittarius is located just above the Spout in the Teapot only 1/2 degree from the popular star cluster-dark nebula deep sky pair NGC 6520 and Barnard 86.  At about magnitude +9, the nova is visible in small telescopes. The two stars at the top of the Teapot – Gamma and Delta Sgr – are labeled. This photo was taken September 28 just as clouds were rolling in. Credit: Bob King

Star Cluster and Dark Cloud

[galactic-centre]

This image from the Wide Field Imager on the MPG/ESO 2.2-metre telescope at ESO’s La Silla Observatory in Chile, shows the bright star cluster NGC 6520 and its neighbour, the strangely shaped dark cloud Barnard 86. This cosmic pair is set against millions of glowing stars from the brightest part of the Milky Way — a region so dense with stars that barely any dark sky is seen across the picture.

NGC 6520 with Barnard 86

An image of the open star cluster NGC 6520 and nearby dust cloud Barnard 86, in the constellation Sagittarius, one of the densest parts of our Galaxy. This image was taken on June 24th, 2007 at the NSF's Blanco 4-m telescope in CTIO, with B (blue), V (green) , I (orange) and H-alpha (red) filters. The bright young stars of this star cluster, which probably formed out of gas related to the nearby dust cloud, stand out in contrast to the background of older stars of the bulge of our Galaxy.
