===Deep-sky objects=== Its rich [[Milky Way]] star field means many modestly deep-sky objects. [[NGC 6891]] is a [[planetary nebula]] of magnitude 10.5; another is [[NGC 6905]] or the Blue Flash Nebula. The Blue Flash Nebula shows broad emission lines. The central star in NGC 6905 has a spectral type of WO2, meaning it is rich in oxygen.<ref name=GomezGonzalez>{{cite journal|doi=10.1093/mnras/stab3042|arxiv=2110.09551 |title=Planetary nebulae with Wolf–Rayet-type central stars – III.
