At least two pulsars have been discovered in the globular cluster, [42] and it has a Shapley-Sawyer Concentration Class of IX. [43] NGC 6749 is an open cluster. NGC 6778 is a planetary nebula located about 10,300 light-years away from the Solar System. [44] NGC 6741 is a planetary nebula. NGC 6772 is a planetary nebula.
The Serpens–Aquila Rift (also known as the Aquila Rift) is a region of the sky in the constellations Aquila, Serpens Cauda, and eastern Ophiuchus containing dark interstellar clouds. The region forms part of the Great Rift , the nearby dark cloud of cosmic dust that obscures the middle of the galactic plane of the Milky Way , looking inwards ...
NGC 6751, also known as the Glowing Eye Nebula, [2] is a planetary nebula in the constellation Aquila. It is estimated to be about 6,500 light-years (2.0 kiloparsecs) away. [2] NGC 6751 was discovered by the astronomer Albert Marth on 20 July 1863. [4]
NGC 6712 is a globular cluster that was probably discovered by Le Gentil on July 9, 1749 when investigating the Milky Way star cloud in Aquila.He described it as a "true nebula," in contrast to the open star cluster M11.
NGC 6781, also known as the Snowglobe Nebula, [5] is a planetary nebula located in the equatorial constellation of Aquila, about 2.5° east-northeast of the 5th magnitude star 19 Aquilae. [3] It was discovered July 30, 1788 by the Anglo-German astronomer William Herschel. [6] The nebula lies at a distance of 1,500 ly from the Sun. [2]

NGC 6709 is an open cluster of stars in the equatorial constellation of Aquila, some 5° to the southwest of the star Zeta Aquilae. [4] It is situated toward the center of the galaxy [5] at a distance of 3,510 light-years. [2] This cluster has a Trumpler class of IV 2 m, and is considered moderately rich [5] with 305 [6] member stars.
NGC 6790 is a young, compact [2] planetary nebula with a high surface brightness [4] located in the equatorial constellation of Aquila. Imaging by the Hubble Space Telescope shows elongated shells surrounding the central star. The distance to this nebula is poorly known, but is estimated at 19 kilolight-years, and it is
