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 kilo parsecs ) away. [ 2 ]
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 6778 is a planetary nebula (PN) located about 10,300 [1] light years away from the Sun in the equatorial constellation of Aquila. It is positioned 5° to the SSW of the prominent star Delta Aquilae. This nebula was discovered by German astronomer Albert Marth during the period 1863–1865.
In the Serpens-Aquila Rift, the largest cluster of young stars is in the W40 nebula, which contains approximately 500 pre–main-sequence stars [4] [7] and the massive O-type star IRS 1A South. [15] Serpens Main is another young cluster in which over 100 young stars have been discovered. [8]
NGC 6755 is an open cluster of stars in the equatorial constellation of Aquila, positioned about 3° to the east of the star Delta Aquilae. [2] It was discovered by the Anglo-German astronomer William Herschel on July 30, 1785 [5] and is located at a distance of 8,060 light years from the Sun. [1]
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.
