NGC 6820
http://www.astro-koop.de/?attachment_id=905
Copyright: Stefan Heutz, Wolfgang Ries and Michael Breite Fun fact: this nebula isn't actually NGC 6820 but for some reason it is referred to by this name. It's actual name is Sh2-86 and the designation of NGC 6820 refers to a small reflection nebula in the surrounding region.

Although this image has been featured on APOD previously, I think it would make a great rerun on a Sunday! I regard this to be one of the greatest astroimages of the 21st century! :D
