The view in this image covers multiple emission and reflection nebulae as well as many intricate dark structures.
IC4685 - IC1274-5 is a bright emission, reflection and dark nebula region located in a dense star field in the Sagittarius constellation. Since it is next to the brighter Lagoon nebula it is rarely imaged on its own, more commonly it is photographed as a part of the Lagoon nebula.
On the upper right corner the NGC 6544 globular cluster shines brightly.
