Description

NGC 6124 is an open star cluster in the constellation of scorpius. Lupus 6 is the dark cloud just above, one of several clouds in the Scorpius/Lupus region catalogued by Fernando Comeron. My goal was to create a very deep image of this cluster to also show some of the faint HII nebula surrounding the cluster.
