Comment : A couple of weeks ago I took a photo of the globular cluster NGC 6229, not I take a new with a wide angle setup. I want to know what objects there are in its surroundings. NGC 6229 plate solved, credits Astrometry.

These objects where found:

Mostly galaxies but the "Her" objects are stars.
