NGC 6755
A young open cluster in Aquila, discovered by William Herschel in 1785.
Le Cœur et l'Âme · Photograph by the author · 3h 47m of exposure, DwarfLab DWARF 3
It is about 5,820 light-years away and spans 15 arcminutes. In the photo, it can just be made out as an excess of stars at the centre of an already crowded field, with a brighter star below, right of centre. Its neighbour in the sky, NGC 6756, nearly twice as far away, stays outside the frame.
