A less than perfect goto put this open cluster at the bottom of the frame. It is about 1/3 of the vertical size of the frame so about 7 arcminutes in diameter. I find it a bit hard to locate the edges in the field and there is a central concentration. There are a large number of stars with similar brightness but some dimmer ones too. There are more than 50, but less than 100 stars. Trumpler II3m

This is the open cluster embedded in NGC 6188, the emission nebula that is described two targets above. The image hasn't been stretched to show 6188 (but that did show how much stretching it took to bring it out). This open cluster is more than half the vertical frame, so it is at least 12 arcminutes in diameter. It is very spread out with only a few stars. There are both bright and dim stars. Trumpler II3p

This open cluster vertical field of view so probably 13 arc minutes in diameter. It's very spread out with slightly more than 50 stars but nothing looks concentrated.

In this image NGC 6496 could easily be mistaken for an open cluster with some surrounding nebulosity. The stars on either side make it look like it runs east-west instead of the normal circular glandular cluster pattern. It's so tiny the image doesn't show much even when zoomed, but the center just looks fuzzy, not concentrated. I would call it at least an X on the Shapley-Sawyer scale. I can believe it when the AL data says that it is a XII. I don't think I've ever seen a XII before.

This small planetary nebula is a bit brighter at one o'clock and seven o'clock and fainter between ten and four. There looks to be a gap between the edges and the central star. There are two stars in the middle so either could be central or it might be so faint you can't even see it at all. There's color in the image but I can't tell what it is.

NGC 6590 (bottom) with NGC 6589 (center), IC 1284 (top left), and NGC 6595 (to the left of center). The first three mentioned are reflection nebulae while NGC 6595 is a very poor open cluster. The target here, NGC 6590 has an odd black spot just off-center to the west. I thought it was an imaging mistake, but it shows up on other images. Is it a tiny dark cloud?

Binning: 2x2
A poor goto put this open cluster over on the left middle side of the field. It is tiny maybe a small as three arcminutes in diameter. Since it's so small it is a bit harder to resolve. The medium range of stars looks to have stars of similar brightness and the center is concentrated and does stand out in the field. The cluster seems to glow a bit in the full-sized image som there may be nebulosity but I don't see it in the zoomed image. Trumpler I2m

This is a most interesting area. NGC 6729 is the fan-shaped bright (reflection?) nebula at the bottom of the image between the two stars at the bottom. The upper of the two stars is the variable R CrA which gives the complex the name. The two bright areas at the top are NGC 6726 (lower one) and 6727 (upper one--the brightest of the three). There are dark nebulas in the frame too.

Four galaxies here...NGC s 6769 (rightmost), 6770 (left top), 6771 (the angled one in the zoom), and IC 4842. None of them exactly leap out of the frame and overwhelm you. The three NGCs are in the zoomed image and all show some spiral nature but no real detail. The curved chain of stars follows down and points toward the IC. There isn't enough detail or size to predict the class or position angle of the target.

It's hard to find a good picture that shows where NGC 6992 (the target here) and NGC 6995 start and stop. I think I have NGC6995 just off the frame to the south. This is the brightest part of the Veil and shows the filament and whispy nature of the supernova remnant.
