HD 168607 (V4029 Sagittarii) is a blue hypergiant and luminous blue variable (LBV) star located in the constellation of Sagittarius, easy to see with amateur telescopes.It forms a pair with HD 168625, also a blue hypergiant and possible luminous blue variable, that can be seen at the south-east of M17, the Omega Nebula.
NGC 6530 is a young [8] open cluster of stars in the southern constellation of Sagittarius, located some 4,300 light years from the Sun. [3] It exists within the H II region known as the Lagoon Nebula, or Messier 8, [9] and spans an angular diameter of 14.0′. [5]
HD 172910 is a class B2.5V [3] (blue main-sequence) star in the constellation Sagittarius.Its apparent magnitude is 4.87 [2] and it is approximately 467 light years away based on parallax.
It is a yellow-white dwarf (spectral class F8 V), a type of star hotter and more luminous than the Sun. The star is located about 90 light years from Earth and might be visible under exceptionally good conditions to an experienced observer without technical aid; usually binoculars are needed. The star HD 179949 is named Gumala.
9 Sgr is the brightest star in the image, just left of the intense Hourglass Nebula core of the Lagoon Nebula.The scattering of stars on the left is NGC 6530.. 9 Sgr is a naked eye star lying in the direction of the Lagoon Nebula (Messier 8), very close to the central condensation of the Hourglass Nebula around Herschel 36.
HD 170657 is a star in the southern constellation Sagittarius. It is a suspected variable star that has been measured ranging in apparent visual magnitude from 6.82 down to 6.88, [5] which is dim enough to be a challenge to view with the naked eye even under ideal conditions. The star is located at a distance of 43 light years from the Sun ...
