Two Collections for Comparison:I am going over the Sharpless2 Objects again with my new C11 and a few more years experience. This version is about 4h of Ha and O-III and processed with StarX and BlurX and GHS. The stars are derived with the color option in GHS. I tried to get a cleaner version than previously.
Below is a wider angle image taken with my Stellarvue for a total of 5h, more heavily stretched, and then a CCD for 20h.
Sh2 94 GHS Stretching 
Sh2 94 H-alpha O-III RGB Basic Information From GalaxyMap about Sh2 94:Sh 2-91, Sh 2-94 and Sh 2-96 are all filaments of the supernova remnant
SNR 065.2+05.7, which has a diameter of about 70 parsecs and an age of about 20 thousand years.
The full extent of the supernova remnant can be seen in the visual frequency images in a 2004 paper. [1]
A small radio ridge of the SNR G 65.2+5.7 coincides with the small but bright filament S94.[2]

Distance Estimates:The supernova remnant G 65.3+5.7 is located at a distance of 900 - 1000 pc but is described separately from Sh 2-94 = LBN 064.90+06.74 .
GENERAL NOTE ON SHARPLESS2 OBJECTS>>>>>>>>>>>>>There are 313 Sh2 objects. All now imaged by yours truly. These are basically the Hydrogen Alpha and other ionized nebulae around the edge of the Milky Way.
This is my collection:
