IC 4604 - Rho Ophiuchi Nebula 709 viewsA blue reflection nebula in Ophiuchus, illuminated by three bright stars of which the central and brightest is Rho Ophiuchi. Lying along the border of Ophiuchus and Scorpius, this nebula and its neighbor IC4603 are close to the giant red star Antares.

NGC 6207, Spiral Galaxy in Hercules707 viewsNGC 6207 is the small oval object on the right side of the photo, just below the centerline. It is seen nearly edge-on and is about 30 million light-years from Earth. It is somewhat outshone by M13, the large globular cluster on the left, which is of course much closer, at 22,200 light-years from Earth.
