NGC6384 is a barred spiral galaxy located about 70 million light years away in the constellation Ophiuchus. In this direction we are looking through rather dense Milky Way star field and the galaxy is therefore often described as a spiral beyond the stars .
To show the galaxy more clearly the stars were here artificially made slightly smaller.
