NGC 6520 and B86 ('Ink Spot Nebula') in Sagittarius

Tivoli/Namibia

The open star cluster NGC 6520 sits right left of the dense molecular cloud B86 in above image. Both are superimposed on the extremely dense Sagittarius Star Cloud towards the center of our galaxy.
The small condensation of stars right of the image's center is the globular star cluster ESO 456-SC38, one of the closest to our galaxy's core.
