Description:
I've discovered this little gem while wandering in the Milky Way and identified later on the map as NGC 6823. It's most interesting part is the little triangle of stars between two bright stars right in the middle of the cluster. The cluster itself is very sparse, doesn't contain many stars, however it clearly isolates well from the background.
SQM reading: 21.22 MPSAS, 13°C.
