We have investigated the stellar and interstellar content of the distant star formation region IRAS 17591-2228 (WISE H ii region GAL 007.47+0.06). It is associated with a water maser, whose parallax distance is kpc, supported by independent measurements of proper motion and radial velocity. It is projected in the same direction as an extremely red (J−K _S ∼ 6 mag) group of stars, and a shell of mid-infrared emission. We qualify the group of stars as a cluster candidate, VVV CL177. Its radius spans between 0.′45 and 1′ and contains at least two young stellar objects with an extreme extinction near mag. Yet more analysis will be required to determine if it is a real single cluster associated with the water maser. The ¹³CO emissions at the radial velocity of the maser corresponds to the mid-infrared emission.

我们研究了遥远恒星形成区域 IRAS 17591-2228（WISE H ii区域 GAL 007.47+0.06）的恒星和星际含量。它与一个水脉泽相关联，其视差距离为kpc，由独立的自身运动和径向速度测量支持。它与一组极红（J - K _S ∼ 6 mag）的恒星和一个中红外发射壳向同一方向投射。我们将这组恒星确定为候选星团 VVV CL177。它的半径跨度在 0.'45 和 1' 之间，并且包含至少两个在mag附近极度灭绝的年轻恒星天体。然而，还需要更多的分析来确定它是否是与水脉泽相关的一个真正的单一集群。这 ¹³脉泽径向速度下的 CO 排放对应于中红外发射。
