Description

Thanks very much to Lloyd Smith of Deep Sky West for his excellent RGB data for SH2-119.

This is the Hubble Palette and HRGB comparison of Sharpless 119, or SH2-119, a large emission nebula in Cygnus, just 2 degrees east of the North America Nebula. At the center of the nebulosity is the star 68Cyg, an expanding blue giant.
