NGC 6590 is a reflection nebula in the constellation of Sagittarius. [2] This nebula is near the similar reflection nebula NGC 6589. Both nebulas are flanked by red emission nebula IC 1284. [2]

NGC 6590 is a Reflection Nebula in the Sagittarius constellation. NGC 6590 is situated close to the celestial equator and, as such, it is at least partly visible from both hemispheres in certain times of the year. Given its B magnitude of 9.8, NGC 6590 is visible with the help of a binocular with a 80mm aperture or a small telescope.

Dubbed NGC 6589 and NGC 6590, the colors of this nebulosity, are caused by gas and dust. The blue color of the nebula nearest the bright stars is caused by reflection off interstellar dust. The dust emits little visible light of its own - in the absence of a nearby star the dust would appear dark, blocking light from background stars.

Although not as bright as NGC 6590, it can be observed in telescopes as small as 12-inches, if not smaller. Look for two separate areas of nebulosity near a bright star (10th mag HD 167638). A bit further away, to the northeast, lies a much larger patch of nebulosity.

There is a lot happening in this glorious region in the constellation of Sagittarius. The intense HII emission area IC 1284 glows pink surrounded by a swirl of brown dust, dark nebulae, broader Ha emi...

2013年4月9日 · NGC 6590 & NGC 6589 in Sagittarius. - posted in Experienced Deep Sky Imaging: Hello, NGC 6590 & NGC 6589 are 2 reflection Blue nebulae in Sagittarius. The big red nebula is IC 1284 Several Sharpless dark nebulae can be seen in the vicinity Imaged with the 16" f3.75 Dream Astrograph.

Clumps of cyan/blue can be seen on top of the magenta emission nebula. Nearby, tendrils of dark nebulosity obscure parts of both the reflecting gasses and a nearby star cloud. This FOV is …

IC 1283, or Sh2-37, is a Hii ionized nebula and NGC 6589 and NGC 6590 are two blue reflection nebulae that lie to the right of IC 1283. Frames are from a late summer session in 2024 but I wasn't able...
