NGC 6755 and NGC 6756- open clusters in Aquila

These two star clusters, NGC 6755 and NGC 6756 are located in the constellation of Aquila in a region with fairly dense Milky Way background stars. The larger cluster toward the left is NGC 6755, and the smaller one is NGC 6756. The clusters have similar distances from Earth - for NGC 6755 is about 4,700 light years, for NGC 6756 - about 4,900 light years. Lying in the proximity to the Galactic Equator, these clusters show some reddening due to the presence of interstellar dust. Wider field image can be seen here .
