Open Cluster, NGC 6520 and Barnard 86

A wide angle shot of the Open Cluster, NGC 6520 and surrounds, the Dark Nebula, Barnard 86 is to the left of the cluster. Also in the shot are the Dark Nebula's, Barnard 299 and 294, the very faint Globular Cluster, Djorg 2 is halfway between the left hand border and the orange star slightly below B 86, also in the image are two further Open clusters, NGC 6540 and Cr 468, nine Planetary Nebula are also present although I cannot see them due to the image scale.

Taken with the Takahashi TSA-102 fitted with a Takahashi Reducer operating at f/5.0, seeing was rather turbulent, FOV is 1.7 degrees by 1.7 degrees.
