A star cluster, an emission nebula and a reflection nebula in constellation Vulpecula about 6000 light years away.

Dark molecular clouds of dust and Herbig-Haro objects HH165 and HH365 (just left to the center) indicate active star formation.
Clearly visible on the lower right side: Planetary Nebula Kn 9, discovered by Austrian amateur astronomer Matthias Kronberger in 2005.
